Doctor in the House

Plot Summary

The original Doctor film that inspired many sequels. Dirk Bogarde plays the wide-eyed, innocent medical student Simon Sparrow arriving at St Swithin’s Hospital. He falls in with a crowd of students who are all senior to him but who have been kept down in the first year. With them, he must master the problems of patients, teachers, nurses and an over-friendly landlady’s daughter! Dr Sparrow has many hilarious hurdles to overcome before he qualifies. A British comedy of classic status.
