DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE

Original 9 1/4 inch x 7 1/4 inch Portrait of KENNETH MORE for the 1954 Ralph Thomas Comedy DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE, written by Richard Gordon .

The now venerable first film of Richard Gordon’s stories of the medical students of St. Swithin’s is a happy experience thanks to a bunch of Equity’s finest in their prime. The film’s settings and jokes have acquired a period charm: 66 years ago the nation was convulsed when irascible surgeon Sir Lancelot Spratt (Robertson Justice) asked ‘What’s the bleeding time?’.

Portrait by Cornel Lucas. Born in 1923 Lucas was a world-renowned Rank Studios photographer known for his legendary black-and-white portraits of stars including Joan Collins, Brigitte Bardot, Lauren Bacall, Marlene Dietrich, Katharine Hepburn and Diana Dors, among many others.

The portrait is in very good condition.
