Plot
In a daring gambit to shatter the monotonous chains of his life as a junior general practitioner and escape the unwelcome siege of feminine affections, the young and charming Dr. Simon Sparrow (Sir Dirk Bogarde) embarks on an uncharted course. He enlists as a medical officer aboard the all-male freighter, "the Lotus." His voyage is anything but smooth-sailing, as he is immediately plunged into a turbulent sea of eccentric characters, led by the volatile, whisky-sodden Captain Hogg (James Robertson Justice).
His journey takes an exciting detour in the vibrant city of Rio where he encounters the enchanting Hélène Colbert (Brigitte Bardot), a sultry French chanteuse whose siren song enthralls him. Meanwhile, the crusty Captain Hogg, a notorious misogynist, is compelled to unexpectedly welcome two female passengers: Muriel Mallet (Brenda de Banzie), the heiress of the shipping company, and her captivating companion, Hélène.
Doctor at Sea is a navigation through hilarious mishaps and romantic entanglements as Simon balances his medical duties with his fascination for the fairer sex, especially the irresistible Hélène. The voyage is a captivating cocktail of comedy, romance, and adventure, with a dash of seasickness for good measure.
