About This Movie
So, 'The Doctor Is Staying with the Colonel' is this oddball comedy from 1980 that really dives into some bizarre territory. You've got Colonel Anacleto Punch, a military doctor who becomes smitten with the alluring Dr. Eve Russell, played with a certain charm that just captures the atmosphere. The pacing is, well, a bit uneven but it captures that quirky vibe of the time. The themes are pretty wild—think of male insecurities and body image tackled through a transplant narrative that’s both absurd and darkly hilarious. Practical effects? They lean more on the comedic side rather than gore, which actually suits the film's tone. The performances have a certain earnestness, giving it a unique flavor. It's one of those films that sticks with you, in a head-scratching way.
Not your typical romantic comedy.Interesting take on male insecurities.A mix of absurdity and earnest performances.
