Nah, you’ve got it wrong. I watched Mr. Roberts recently on TCM. Henry Fonda played Mr. Roberts, who was the Captain’s (Jimmy Cagney) executive officer. Jack Lemmon played ensign Pulver. I had to look up the doctor. (I just remember the creation of the bottle of scotch! Otherwise he was pretty forgettable. Looking him up, I was surprised to find he was played by a well-known bygone star, William Powell, of ‘The Thin Man’ fame.)

Arnie, even if I were not family I would be waiting for the next chapter. It is "Mr. Roberts, the Early Years." but from the Dr.'s viewpoint. I don't remember the Dr.'s name. Only that Henry Fonda played him in the movie.
