D'OTTAVIO CALLEGARI, María Eugenia; D'OTTAVIO CALLEGARI, María Silvia  and  D'OTTAVIO CATTANI, Alberto Enrique. Murmurs in the city. Medical humanization in romantic comedy key. Rev Med Cine [online]. 2022, vol.18, n.2, pp.159-163.  Epub July 04, 2022. ISSN 1885-5210.  https://dx.doi.org/10.14201/rmc.27986.

This film focuses on part of the story of a doctor as initially expressed in a superimposed writing. Such a professional is the founder of a clinic where patients are humanely and comprehensively approached. While lacking the epic character of other cinematographic productions on doctors and Medicine, the humanism constantly hovers throughout the plot.

In addition, being a romantic and dramatic comedy, it does not avoid dealing some controversial issues for the then current anti-communist McCarthyism.

The aforementioned medical humanization and this underlying plus in an a priori light fiction stimulated and guided the drafting of this paper.

Keywords : humanitarianism; medicine; comedy; romantic.
