Where Does It Hurt?

1972 · 85 min

A broad, cheeky hospital farce that coasts on a shameless comic performance and a steady stream of silly gags.

Tagline: Only where you laugh!
Overview: In this classic hospital farce, Peter Sellers plays Dr. Albert T. Hopfnagel, a greedy, crooked hospital administrator who has perfected the art of bill padding, unnecessary surgery and kickbacks. Mistrusted by patients, and resented by other staffers, his assistant Alice can no longer endure his scams and plots to have him sent to prison - but not for long enough. Sellers again steals the show with an absurd and hilarious character study.
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, cynical and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Corruption, greed, crime, work
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
