Featured review
Some student dentists, who look as if they are on the verge of being middle aged, receive some 'dodgy' dental equipment that's.been stolen. What follows is a painful and tedious narrative whereby Kenneth Connor and his student dental colleagues try to rid themselves of the loot. Bob Monkhouse, a popular TV comedian of the time, couldn't really act. Someone like Leslie Phillips would have been far better, hence from the word go, Monkhouse is out of his depth and thus looks distinctly uncomfortable in the starring role. Sadly, the second lead, Ronnie Stevens, doesn't really impress in a comedic role, but comes across as nothing more than a bland, stuffy and colourless figure. Only Kenneth Connor comes out with any credit, but even he can't save this awful film due to the puerile dialogue and the flimsy storyline. This sort of film was an effort to cash in on the 'Doctor in the House' films but spectacularly fails! The film wasn't funny when it was released and after 60 years, it's lost all traces of humour! After 30 minutes of watching this drivel, I needed a stiff drink.
