Bigger Than Life

After schoolteacher Ed Avery faints and is hospitalized, doctors diagnose him with a fatal arterial illness and tell him he has a few months to live. Ed agrees to an experimental treatment with cortisone, and makes what appears to be a miraculous recovery. However, upon his return home, his wife, Lou, notices severe mood shifts in him. His friend and coworker Wally also perceives the changes, and discovers that Ed has been abusing the cortisone.
