Doctor in Love is a 1960 film and the fourth of the Doctor... Series. It stars Michael Craig, Virginia Maskell, James Robertson Justice, Carole Lesley, and Leslie Phillips.Dr. Richard Hare (Craig) is a house surgeon at St. Swithin's Hospital, who is left devastated after his love interest Nurse Sally Nightingale (Moira Redmond) suddenly leaves. After this disappointment, he and former St. Swithin's colleague Dr. Tony Burke (Phillips) go to stay at Professor MacRitchie's (Irene Handl) Foulness Anti-Cold Research Unit, where they join an experiment to look to try and cure the common cold, however the two break their intended isolation to chat up two strippers - Dawn (Joan Sims) and Leonora (Liz Fraser) - and have to leave.Dr. Hare then takes the job he was offered in Dr. Clive Cardew's (Nicholas Phipps) private practice and is temporarily left in charge when Dr. Cardew visits California. Dr. Burke joins him again but proves to be more trouble than he's worth after wasting the practice's money and spending time at the club to get closer to the lovely Kitten Strudwick (Lesley), before leaving once he breaks his arm.After him, Dr. Nicola Barrington (Maskell) joins the practice as Dr. Hare's assistant and steals Dr. Hare's heart, while Miss Strudwick takes up the job of practice secretary. After saving a young boy's life - with the help of the recently retired Sir Lancelot Spratt (Justice) - Drs. Hare and Barrington plan to marry, but things go awry when Sally returns to take over Miss Strudwick's job as Hilarity Ensues. | |

Dr. Jerk: Dr. Mincing, who refuses to let Dr. Hare have an experimental drug to save a child's life. Despite the drug being dangerous, Dr. Mincing shows no remorse to the situation at all. | |

Same Language Dub: All of Mrs. Mimps' son's lines are dubbed over, as his mouth clearly does not move when he speaks. Dr. Harvey is a short, stout woman and her actress Fay Bura is dubbed over with a deep masculine voice to make her even more of a letdown to Mr. Luke after hearing that he won't be able to see the much prettier Dr. Barrington. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Doctor in Love / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The librarian tries to get Dr. Hare to read The Captain's Table, which was written by Richard Gordon - the writer of the original Doctor books the films are based on. Sally jokes to Dr. Hare that her name is "Florence Nightingale". When Dr. Hare refuses to be sedated, Sir Lancelot threatens to give him "something that'll make the Sleeping Beauty look like a case of galloping insomnia". One of Dawn and Leonora's stripper acts involves copying famous paintings such as Rokeby Venus by Velázquez and Europa and the Bull by Titian. Dr. Hare gives Dr. Barrington the new copy of The Lancet to read in case she can't sleep. When Dr. Barrington muses on Dr. Hare's past, Dr. Cardew remarks it would be unlikely for him to be an actual Jack the Ripper. | |
