Laughing Gas Scene - Doctor In Clover

This movie has the usual Sixties British comedy hijinks - jokes about age and its effect on masculine virility, a desperate need to appear youthful, an obsessed doctor chasing after a woman who considered him too old for her and James Robertson Justice as someone who always seems to be nine feet tall and almost as wide.

And then there's this legendary laughing gas scene. Enjoy the clearest quality version of this scene that I have seen to date.

Doctor In Clover Laughing Gas Scene

Below is the famous "laughing gas at the party" scene from the Sixties British comedy Doctor in Clover. Basically, the Matron (Joan Sims) has some pretty strait-laced ideas about what is permitted and what is not: and alcohol in the punch is definitely not permitted.

However, Dr Gaston Grimsdyke (Leslie Phillips) and Sir Lancelot Spratt (James Robertson Justice), the latter having been fortified by an experimental "youth drug" and made uncharacteristically randy, have a contingency - a bottle of an experimental laughing gas from the Psych ward, which Dr Grimsdyke unleashes on the unsuspecting Matron and her gaggle of nurses on the stage.

It doesn't take long for them to start howling with laughter - not much longer for the rest of the room to be hit by the gas as well. Hijinks ensue, as only British celluloid can deliver.

Enjoy.
