    Doctor In Clover (1966)

    Share
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    The sixth movie in the long-running ‘Doctor’ comedy series (from the books by Richard Gordon) sees Leslie Phillips in the lead role as Dr Gaston Grimsdyke, in place of Dirk Bogarde’s Simon Sparrow.

    The plot is basically just a series of loosely connected incidents and sketches surrounding the amorous adventures of would-be Casanova Grimsdyke and his familiar conflicts with chief surgeon Sir Lancelot Spratt (James Robertson Justice).

    The film’s highlight is a party scene, augmented by the addition of laughing gas and Justice losing his inhibitions after being accidentally injected by Phillips with a concoction that gives him the frisky sensation of youth again.

    There’s a talented supporting cast – including Joan Sims, Eric Barker, Alfie Bass, Bill Kerr, Fenella Fielding, Norman Vaughan, Terry Scott and Harry Fowler – but essentially, it’s a Carry OnΒ film in all but name.

    Released in the US asΒ Carnaby M.D.

    Leslie Phillips passed away on 7 November 2022 after a long illness. He was 98.
