"Despite, or perhaps because of, the upswing in hospital-localed t.v. series, this film from more than thirty years ago holds up extremely well. It was never startlingly different or unusual, but it had a sensible restraint, a convincing set of people and circumstances, and a willingness to go against popular expectations. It is often amusing, always absorbing, and sometimes very moving. Its overall restraint must surely be the result of director Pat Jackson's earlier work in documentary films.... It's something of a mystery why his career...never really went anywhere despite his obvious talents.... Anyway, White Corridors is crisp and well acted, and manages to suggest most of the more unpleasant aspects of hospital life without ever having to get as medically explicit as many recent films have done!"
