 More, and well...More April 20, 2006
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
One of the reasons I love this movie is the fact that my favourite actor Kenneth More is in it and I have liked the movie since I was young. But it is also one of the funniest movies that this country has produced and one of many great 1950 comedies alongside "Genevieve", "Carry on Sergeant" and others. Like some of these other films (More's "Geniveve" amongst them) it shows a Britain confined to celluoid. Perhaps a gentler Britain to the one we know today. Doctor in the House however is pure fun and with Donald Sinden and James Robertston Justice (delightful as ever) it is extra fun.

gentle comedy March 18, 2006

This movie, depicts everything we expect from the 1950's. Gentle humour, drama, flirtation etc. Nothing offensive, probably just the gentle life that most of us are unable to lead now.brSo grab those biscuits and coffee, put your feet up and watch 'Doctor in the House'. As usual, Dirk is all we'd hope a decent English bloke to be, always ready to join in the fun, but knowing when to call it a day, handsome and attractive to women, though charming, he makes us remember the butterflies in our bellies on first dates. Some inevitable drama in a hospital situation,this actually adds to the charm of the film, because we all know 'it will be alright in the end'.
Playing doctor... January 18, 2006
9 out of 25 found this review helpful
'Doctor in the House', begun in 1969, was a long-running series (if one includes the derivatives of 'Doctor at Large', 'Doctor at Sea', 'Doctor on the Go', 'Doctor Down Under', and even the early 1990s 'Doctor at the Top') focusing upon a group of not-so-serious medical students at the mythical St. Swithin's Hospital school. The central characters of Michael Upton (Barry Evans) and Duncan Warring (Robin Nedwell) form a band of students whose lack of diligence in their studies is duly matched with their obsession at having fun in the swinging-sixties mindset of London. Of course, this is a made-for-television series, so there are definite limits to the humour - in typical British fashion, there are flashes of understated brilliance coupled with over-the-top, Monty-Python-esque kinds of hilarity. pThis only makes since, given that Monty Python veteran Graham Chapman was writer for many of the episodes of this series (and John Cleese gets a credit for the opening episode). The first episode sees Michael Upton being introduced to the school during the examination, which, despite a lackluster performance answering the question, 'Why do you want to be a doctor?' he nonetheless gains admittance. pThe episodes in this collection include the early years, but despite its title, it does not include the reprise of the series from the 1990s. In addition to Upton and Warring, recurring characters such as Stuart-Clark (a student obliged to stay in school given the terms of his inheritance, played by Geoffrey Davies) and Professor Loftus (played by the distinguished and unflappable Ernest Clark) are introduced. pThis is an early look at Brit-coms, predating shows such as Fawlty Towers that have become staples of the genre. 'Doctor in the House' has had some play on PBS and other networks in the United States, but never attracted a huge following there. This is a London Weekend Television production (not a BBC production), for those who recognise a difference (Benny Hill was a staple of the LWT/ITV stock, too). pThis is an incredibly funny series, and a must for those who remember fondly the earlier days of British comedy on television.pHealth be with you!
Doctor Loves Doctor In The House October 6, 2004

I first saw this many years before going to Medical School. At the time I thought it very funny, but only later as a medical student myself, and then a doctor, did I realise just how it often represented real life situations I was to encounter. Having gone to Medical School in London, and spent some time at the real life location of the fictional St Swithin's, this film is especially relevant to me. That said I recommend it whether you are medical or not. I love this film, it is so funny and sweet. I often re-watch it when I am getting worn out with the realities of Medical life to rekindle the innocence that once sparked my vocation. It is ideal for those lazy Sunday afternoons. A perfect prescription for the blues.
