Doctor in Distress is a 1963 film and the fifth of the Doctor... Series. It stars Dirk Bogarde, Samantha Eggar, James Robertson Justice, Donald Houston, Barbara Murray, Dennis Price, and Special Guest Mylène Demongeot.After injuring his back in a fall, Sir Lancelot Spratt (Justice) is placed under the care of physiotherapist Iris Marchant (Murray). While Sir Lancelot doesn't like her at first, he quickly falls in love and turns to Dr. Simon Sparrow (Bogarde) for help, although Dr. Sparrow has his own romantic business, namely that he has fallen in love with Delia Mallory (Eggar), a model.While Sir Lancelot is unable to take Iris out on consistent dates as she is busy taking care of Major Tommy Ffrench (Houston), Dr. Sparrow uses his connections with Dr. Blacker (Price) and sends him off to Banton House Nature Clinic & Retreat in order to help him lose some weight. This proves unfruitful, however, as Sir Lancelot can't stand it there and chooses to buy a corset instead.Sir Lancelot then has Iris followed by a private investigator, Mr. Holly (Timothy Bateson). Once Mr. Holly suffers from appendicitis, Sir Lancelot chooses to do the job himself, only succeeding in frightening the life out of a woman on the train (Fenella Fielding) with his gruff demeanor and embarrassing himself in front of Iris, especially once he manages to accidentally follow the nervous woman from the train home. Now Sir Lancelot has is left with only one option - to try to propose to Iris as Hilarity Ensues.Meanwhile, Dr. Sparrow and Delia's relationship is strained when she goes off to Rome to star in The Sorrows of Salome, but his chances for romance aren't completely dashed when he meets the lovely Swedish Sonja Stromberg (Demongeot) and her sister, Helga (also Demongeot).Not to be mistaken for the Doctor Who song, "Doctor in Distress". | |

Continuity Nod: Two to Doctor in the House (1954) from Dr. Sparrow: When he reassures Stuart not to let Sir Lancelot worry him too much, he recalls how Sir Lancelot threw the whole book at him, reminiscing on all the trouble he got into as a medical student. When he tells the medical students that he'll be working with them until Sir Lancelot recovers, he tells one that he wants no questions about the bleeding time from him, referencing his own confusion on the topic. | |
