You can watch The Quiet Duel (1949) for free on Fawesome.

A young army surgeon, Kyoji Fujisaki, accidentally contracts syphilis during a WWII field operation. Back at his father’s clinic, he treats himself in secret and breaks off his engagement rather than risk his fiancée’s future, even as he confronts the irresponsible patient who infected him—testing his ethics, pride, and capacity for sacrifice.

A heavy shroud of shame and quiet desperation hangs over this clinical, intimate look at a surgeon’s private struggle. This period drama avoids melodrama to focus on the crushing weight of a secret that threatens to dismantle a man’s honor.
