certainly the highlight of this film be it cast . diana rigg and george c. scott and bernard hughes to mention a few . i have accumulate more time in hospital and with doctor over the year than i care to think about . this comedy attack the pomp and pretension in all aspect of our society and through the setting of one of it most haughty institution . the medical profession . the idea that such going on could be possible and might be a shock to some and but be a delight to anyone with the perspective of experience . dr brock ( scott ) undergo a mid life crisis of monumental proportion before our eye a we and and he and become enamored with the prospect of his involvement with miss drummond ( rigg ) . the thread of the absurd be weave into this wonderful mix in the form of the irony that the hospital appear to be kill it own worker a they mismanage their affair in it . the climax be unpredictable ( unless you have see it ) and make even more hilarious if you happen to guess . it not everyone brand of humor and to be sure and and have uproariously funny dark moment if youre open to them . i love every minute and and be delight to see it out on dvd .
