About The Country Doctor
A splendid doctor arrives in a small village: all the males compete to undergo repeated examinations in order to get to know the beautiful woman better. The mayor of the village, taking advantage of the beautiful "bait", would like to teach a lesson to the playboy Gustavo, who some time ago had caught all the husbands of the village.
Directed by Mario Bianchi, The Country Doctor leans on a strong ensemble — Mark Shannon, Antonella Antinori, Marina Hedman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1981.
