Not to be confused with Arthur Hiller's narrative fiction film The Hospital starring George C. Scott.
1970's Hospital was another of documentarian Frederick Wiseman's forays into public institutions; he had previously made Titticut Follies (1967) and High School (1968). On assignment for NY public TV station WNET, Wiseman takes his cameras into New York's Metropolitan Hospital and, literally, focuses on life and death. Paying special attention to the hospital's Emergency Room, Wiseman's film highlights doctors and patients and the legal and ethical decisions both must face.
Hospital was added to the National Film Registry in 1994.
