Dr. Kildare

Dr. Kildare is a series of novels and short stories written by Max Brand (real name: Frederick Faust), featuring the fictional medical doctor Dr. James Kildare. Shortly after the character's first appearance in a magazine story, Paramount Pictures used the story and character as the basis for the 1937 film Internes Can't Take Money. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) subsequently acquired the rights and featured Kildare as the primary character in a series of American theatrical films in the late 1930s and early 1940s. The Kildare character was later featured in an early 1950s radio series, a 1960s television series, a comic book and comic strip based on the 1960s TV show, and a short-lived second 1970s television series. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Kildare
