      Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine No. 3 in the British series of slaphappy medical farces has several slow or dullish episodes but enough lively bits to qualify it as a recommendable item. Oct 25, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member The funniest medical comedy ever, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member martin.hillstad@mail.cm Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review ashley h Doctor at Large is an okay film. It is about Dr. Sparrow who graduates and sets out into the world. Dirk Bogarde and James Robertson James give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Ralph Thomas did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the humor. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The third in the Doctor comedies is back to it's best following the rather poor second instalment. Good harmless fun. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member #3 in the 'doctor series' Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Such a supprise! Was setting at home board at my brain and couldnt be borthered to get the remote when this very old classic movie came on.
