    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Robert Morley demanded a fee of fifteen thousand pounds sterling when offered the part of Sir Lancelot Spratt. As this would have constituted nearly one-sixth of this movie's proposed budget, the filmmakers instead hired James Robertson Justice at one-tenth the salary. Justice scored a great personal triumph in this movie, and played the role again in five sequels. It was to remain his best-known movie part.
    • Goofs
      Simon Sparrow attends to a birth at Christmas, then almost immediately afterwards takes part in a rugby match in November. What's more the trees are in full summer foliage on the day of the match.
    • Quotes
      • Sir Lancelot Spratt: You cut a patient he bleeds, until the processes of nature form a clot and stop it. This interval is known scientifically as the 'bleeding time'. You! What's the bleeding time?
      • Simon Sparrow: Ten past ten, sir.
