Country: GB
Technical: col 104m
Director: Ralph Thomas
Cast: Dirk Bogarde, Muriel Pavlow, Donald Sinden, James Robertson Justice, Shirley Eaton, Michael Medwin
Synopsis:
Simon Sparrow tires of running Casualty at St Swithin's and takes a number of temporary positions at rural and other practices. His chum, Tony Benskin, still hasn't passed his exams and so resorts to more drastic measures.
Review:
The framework remains the friendship between two men and a girl trying to make it in the medical profession, but spread so thinly here it is more like a compendium of 'Doctor, doctor' sketches. True, there is a who's who of British acting talent dropping in and out, and it is ticking them off that affords three quarters of the pleasure, that and the sheer innocence of the whole thing.
