Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRobert Morley demanded a fee of fifteen thousand pounds sterling when offered the part of Sir Lancelot Spratt. As this would have constituted nearly one-sixth of this movie's proposed budget, the filmmakers instead hired James Robertson Justice at one-tenth the salary. Justice scored a great personal triumph in this movie, and played the role again in five sequels. It was to remain his best-known movie part.
- GoofsSimon Sparrow attends to a birth at Christmas, then almost immediately afterwards takes part in a rugby match in November. What's more the trees are in full summer foliage on the day of the match.
- Quotes
Sir Lancelot Spratt: You cut a patient he bleeds, until the processes of nature form a clot and stop it. This interval is known scientifically as the 'bleeding time'. You! What's the bleeding time?
Simon Sparrow: Ten past ten, sir.

Featured review
A fairly good watch, especially considering the number of flaws in the film, it mixes good dialogue with British mannerisms to create a reasonably amusing picture. The film has no real sense of time, with years passing but only feeling like months, and the characters all look too old to be fresh medical students, plus there are quite a few lame jokes. The Technicolor looks a bit too colourful to be natural too, though colour does suit the film more than black and white would have. As has been alluded to already, the film is still quite reasonable entertainment in spite of its shortcomings, and James Robert Justice gives a highly memorable performance, keeping it all buoyant whenever he is on screen.
