Watch Doctor at Sea

Doctor at Sea is a British comedy film, released in 1955, directed by Ralph Thomas and starring Dirk Bogarde, Brenda de Banzie, and Brigitte Bardot. The film is the second in a series of "Doctor" films, which follows the journey of Doctor Simon Sparrow, a newly qualified medical graduate who is on the verge of taking up a new post as a junior doctor at St. Swithin's Hospital in London.

The film begins with Doctor Simon Sparrow embarking on a new adventure as he makes his way to sea to work as a ship's doctor aboard the HMS Lotus. As he tries to adjust to life aboard ship, he faces a number of challenges - from seasickness, to the resentment of the ship's captain, to the unwanted attentions of the captain's daughter. However, Simon also finds himself falling for Hélène Colbert, a glamorous Frenchwoman traveling aboard the ship.

As the story develops, Simon finds himself caught up in a series of comedic mishaps, including a misdiagnosis of a crew member's illness that leads to a quarantine of the entire ship, and a botched attempt at performing surgery on a crew member who suffers from appendicitis. However, despite these setbacks, Simon's dedication to his profession and his compassion for his patients shine through, as he works tirelessly to ensure that everyone on board the ship stays healthy and safe.

Meanwhile, Simon's budding romance with Hélène begins to blossom, with the pair sharing a number of romantic moments as they explore exotic ports of call, dance under the stars on deck, and even embark on a daring midnight swim. However, Hélène is engaged to a wealthy and powerful man, and Simon's hopes of winning her heart are soon dashed.

As the ship makes its way back to England, Simon faces one final challenge when the captain falls ill and he is forced to take command of the ship. In a dramatic race against time, Simon must navigate the Lotus through treacherous waters, while also tending to the captain's medical needs, in order to successfully bring the ship back to port.

In the end, Doctor at Sea is a charming and lighthearted film filled with comedy, romance, and adventure. Dirk Bogarde shines in the lead role of Doctor Simon Sparrow, bringing a mix of humor and humanity to the character that makes him easy to root for. Brenda de Banzie plays the captain's overbearing daughter with great energy and humor, while Brigitte Bardot is enchanting as the beautiful young woman who captures Simon's heart. The film's gorgeous Technicolor cinematography and jaunty musical score add to its overall charm, making it a must-see for fans of classic British cinema.

Doctor at Sea is a 1955 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 33 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.8.
