Doctor in the House (1954)
Directed by Ralph Thomas
Overview
The first of the seven “Doctor” films, based on Richard Gordon’s novels and released between 1954 and 1970. Simon Sparrow is a newly arrived medical student at St Swithin’s hospital in London. Falling in with three longer-serving hopefuls he is soon immersed in the wooing, imbibing and fast sports-car driving that constitute 1950s medical training. There is, however, always the looming and formidable figure of chief surgeon Sir Lancelot Spratt to remind them of their real purpose.
