Output (English): The story follows the fortunes of Simon Sparrow Dirk Bogarde, starting as a new medical student at the fictional St Swithins Hospital in London. His five years of student life, involving drinking, dating women, and falling foul of the rigid hospital authorities, provide many humorous incidents. When he has to leave his first choice of lodgings to get away from his landladys amorous daughter Shirley Eaton, he ends up with three amiable but lessthanshining fellow students as flatmates: Towering over them all is the shorttempered, demanding chief surgeon, Sir Lancelot Spratt played by James Robertson Justice in a manner quite unlike Gordons original literary character, who strikes terror into everyone. Simons friends cajole him into a series of disastrous dates, first with a placidly uninterested Rigor Mortis Joan Sims, then with Isobel Kay Kendall, a woman with very expensive tastes, and finally with Joy Muriel Pavlow, a nurse at St Swithins. After a rocky start, he finds he likes Joy a great deal. Meanwhile, Richard is given an ultimatum by his fiancee Stella Suzanne Cloutier – graduate or she will leave him. He buckles down. The climax of the film is a rugby match with a rival medical school during Simons fifth and final year. After St Swithins wins, the other side tries to steal the school mascot, a stuffed gorilla, resulting in a riot and car chase through the streets of London. Simon and his friends are almost expelled for their part in this by the humourless Dean of St Swithins Geoffrey Keen. When Simon helps Joy sneak into the nurses residence after curfew, he accidentally falls through a skylight. This second incident gets him expelled, even though he is a short time away from completing his finals. Sir Lancelot, however, has fond memories of his own student days, particularly of the Deans own youthful indiscretion persuading a nurse to reenact Lady Godivas ride. His discreet blackmail gets Simon reinstated. In the end, Richard fails as does Tony, but Stella decides to enroll at St Swithins herself so there will be at least one doctor in the family. Simon and Taffy graduate.
