Arrowsmith is a 1931 film nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. It was written by Sidney Howard from the Sinclair Lewis novel Arrowsmith, and directed by John Ford. The film concerns a young medical researcher (Ronald Colman) who leaves his practice as a doctor in a small town to accept a position in an institute. Eager to help mankind, he goes to a Caribbean island to help the natives fight bubonic plague. His loving wife (Helen Hayes) goes with him, much against his wishes.

The film is largely faithful to the novel, but completely omits all mention of Arrowsmith's wealthy and self-centered second wife. The film significantly avoids stereotypes in its portrayal of a central black character. Marchland, played by Clarence Brooks is a college graduate who speaks proper English and who does not stutter or demonstrate cowardice.
