Losing out to Dr. Bingham (Michael Medwin) in a competition for house surgeon when he offends a member of the board, young Dr. Simon Sparrow (Dirk Bogarde) finds himself going from post to post, filling in for other physicians. At one distant country post, he is taken aback when he works with a patient whose husband died after Simon treated the man years before. In another hospital, Simon examines a surprisingly mature teen and also tries courting devoted nurse Nan McPherson (Shirley Eaton).

Cast & Crew

Review

CinemaSerf

This third outing for our now qualified doctors has largely lost it's sting. Though many of the original cast have remained, there is far too much dialogue, way too many characters and the original stalwarts - Dirk Bogarde ("Sparrow"); James Robertson Justice ("Sir Lancelot") and Muriel Pavlow ("Joy") just don't feature enough as the story offers us some ever increasingly ridiculous scenarios. We even have an elephant! It's too long too, perhaps it could be tightened up by fifteen or twenty minutes, and the wordy chatter could really do with similar treatment too. It's fine, but the joke is really wearing thin and the frequently rather crass humour is now stretched past the point where laughs can easily be had.
