The Carey Treatment

“You've never seen a doctor like Dr. Carey. He has a unique way of operating. It's called... The Carey Treatment.”

In 1972, Dr. Peter Carey (James Coburn) arrives at a Boston hospital as a new pathologist, and a colleague is soon charged with murder. Carey starts asking questions that the hospital staff and Capt. Pearson (Pat Hingle) would rather leave alone. Blake Edwards follows him through the lab work and the evasions, and Carey's search leans more and more on Georgia Hightower (Jennifer O'Neill), who knows more about the dead than she first admits.
