Doctor at Large

All the BARE FACTS and FIGURES That Add Up to a Young Medic's Love Life!

A lighthearted romantic comedy following a young doctor's misadventures across various hospital posts as he navigates professional setbacks and romantic pursuits.

Losing out to Dr. Bingham (Michael Medwin) in a competition for house surgeon when he offends a member of the board, young Dr. Simon Sparrow (Dirk Bogarde) finds himself going from post to post, filling in for other physicians. At one distant country post, he is taken aback when he works with a patient whose husband died after Simon treated the man years before. In another hospital, Simon examines a surprisingly mature teen and also tries courting devoted nurse Nan McPherson (Shirley Eaton).
