      Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy) Esquire Magazine John Qualen is perfect as the bemused father, and every quintuplet joke you ever heard is pulled with fresh effect... Apr 17, 2020 Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine The Country Doctor is a little too long.... On the whole, however, it's entertaining and well handled. Oct 2, 2019 Full Review Toby Woollaston New Zealand Herald It is all the better for its reserve and operates amicably within its bounds at a pace that matches its rural setting.
