| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzSlight comedy based on the antics of a group of naughty Brit medical students at a London hospital. |
| Monthly Film BulletinMFB CriticsDoctor in the House, adapted from the book by Richard Gordon, works its way with determined high spirits through the repertoire of medical student jokes. |
| User ReviewJay SCheerful and sweet. Worth your time. I always get choked up at the part where he delivers the baby. |
| User ReviewKarsh DAmusing 60s British comedy about student doctors. Great cast and some classic iconic scenes which have become part of British film history |
| User ReviewGreg WNot overly funny, but the young Dirk Bogarde was soooo sexy. |
