Harry the Horse
La Casa de Dios es un hospital donde un grupo de estrafalarios médicos internos residentes en prácticas intentan lidiar con la presión que va asociada a su profesión. Después de que Jo, el jefe de los residentes, sufra una crisis, deciden colocar a los internos bajo la tutela del médico residente más veterano, un curioso personaje conocido con el sobrenombre de Fatman. Aunque fue rodada en 1979, esta comedia negra sobre el día a día del personal médico de un hospital no fue estrenada en salas comerciales hasta que algunos de sus protagonistas ya habían alcanzado una cierta popularidad, como es el caso de Tim Matheson ("Los albóndigas en remojo") o Bess Armstrong ("La gran ruta hacia China"). En papeles secundarios participan también intérpretes como Sandra Bernhard ("El rey de la comedia") o Michael Richards("Seinfeld").
