As a way of honoring the great Barnard Hughes, who died today in Manhattan at age 90, please listen to this sound file of a confession he delivers in Arthur Hiller and Paddy Chayefsky’s The Hospital (1971)…a confession about having killed three staffers in a New York hospital, but not by his own hand…not precisely…he merely arranged for the three to need urgent medical attention, and then put them under the care of the hospital’s general staff, thus ensuring their deaths.
