Bob Monkhouse and Kenneth Connor, two escapees from Britain's Carry On series, star in Dentist on the Job. Bob and Ken play a daft pair of dental school graduates who pound the pavement trying to sell a new brand of toothpaste. If there is a single solitary oral-surgery gag left untapped (or undrilled) by this film, we'd like to see it. Shirley Eaton, the "gilded girl" from Goldfinger, is around to play nurse while the two stars play doctor. The original British title of Dentist on the Job is Get On With It. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This film is based on the popular British TV series Emergency Ward 10. A surgeon arrives from the U.S. with a new heart-lung machine in order to save a young boy who has a hole in his heart. The doctor is treated coolly by a jealous rival, and an old man dies while on the new life-saving machine. Controversy erupts, among his more traditional colleagues, over the American doctor's experimental methods. Character diversity is well-represented by the patients; a woman waiting to bear quadruplets, the old man, the young boy, and the neglected wife. Romance, humor and drama surround the doctors, nurses and patients, all leading to an inevitable hospital party. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

Sixpenny Corner is historically important as Britain's first daily TV soap opera. The series' 15-minute episodes revolved around the Nortons, a newlywed couple played by Howard Pays and Patricia Norton. Mr. Norton (aka Bill) owned a small garage in the town of Springwood; Mrs. Norton (aka Sally) sat around, worried a lot, and consumed vast quantities of tea. Produced through the facilities of Associated Redifussion, Sixpenny Corner lacked the staying power of such successors as Coronation Street, surviving but a single season after its 1955 debut. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
