The Hasty Heart (1949)

An abrasive Scottish soldier in a Burmese Army hospital is dying. Rather than tell HIM that, the doctor decides to tell his new bunkmates to be nice to the dying man, even though he’s an ass.

Well, the Scot's assy heart melts...then freezes over again hard when he finds out that everyone knew he was dying, but then it melts again because otherwise it'd be a bummer. Uh, that’s a spoiler...but only if you’ve never seen a movie before or have no idea how "buddy" stories usually turn out.
