doctor at sea (1955)


"They say worse things happen at sea..."
One year on and we re-join Simon Sparrow (Dirk Bogarde) as he starts his medical career having graduated. He runs away to become a doctor on a merchant ship to avoid a romantic liason, and ends up under the hard drinking captain Hogg (James Robertson Justice). Then Murial Mallet (Brenda De Banzie), the daughter of the shipping owner and her escort Hélène Colbert (Brigitte Bardot), are landed on the Captain, causing no end of complications.
Another fun romp, which entertains with its light comedy as the doc administers to the various eccentrics aboard.
