Dentist on the Job

Film: Dentist on the Job

This British movie from 1961 can be found on the DVD version of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Well, okay not really. Before the actual movie begins, you are presented with about two minutes of the opening titles from Dentist on the Job. A voice from the projectionist is then heard, that it’s the wrong movie, and then the Holy Grail begins. I couldn’t help thinking that I’d actually want to see this movie, however silly it may be. The playful music and story seems perfect for a lazy rainy Sunday afternoon. However, it’s not very likely that we’ll see it on DVD anytime soon. But as a treat, I am giving you the opening music by Ken Jones. Enjoy.

    Thanks for the music! I actually liked this bit myself and wanted to listen to it over and over and over instead of watching the other film!

  • Chris

    Yes, the music is very nifty and playful. The movie is probably very cheesy and british, but it would be fun to see it someday.

  • Chris Sobieniak

    Sounds like a no-brainer kind of film.

    The video in the beginning ads to the awareness of the people to take care of their teeth properly.

    These are great classic British comedy movies. Dentist In The Chair (1960) and Dentist On The Job (1961) are very much in the “Carry On” style of films.

    They are both available on dvd from Amazon UK.
