Doctor In The House

synopsis


Doctor In The House was so successful that it spawned not only six sequels but also a television spin-off. Oddly enough this success works against it, as it is easy to forget how good the original was. Medical school provides a good background for the comedy capers, as well as providing a sound plot structure that some of the sequels lacked. Dirk Bogarde leads a very strong cast, which includes such familiar British comedy faces as Joan Sims and Shirley Eaton in small roles. Kenneth More provides strong support to Bogarde but the great James Robertson Justice, in his signature role as Sir Lancelot Spratt steals the movie. Despite only appearing in a handful of scenes, Justice dominates the screen, notably in the famous `What's the bleeding time' scene. Luscious colour photography adds to the enjoyment as the movie delivers a great hour and half of escapist fun, still fresh and breezy after almost fifty years, I'd recommend this move to any one who is interested in British comedy.
