Overview

Under the Doctor is a quintessential 1970s British sex comedy following the misadventures of Dr. Boyd, a handsome young physician whose consulting room is frequently filled with alluring women and their personal, often risqué problems. The film explores the comic chaos that ensues as Dr. Boyd finds himself caught between his professional obligations and the temptations presented by his patients. With a cast of eccentric characters, including a cheating fiancée, a nurse in uniform, and a gallery of women seeking more than just medical advice, the film leans into broad farce, cheeky innuendo, and the era’s taste for titillation. It's a playful romp through the swinging corridors of a British clinic, where the doctor’s greatest challenge might be keeping his own impulses in check.
