Description

Original movie poster painting by Sam Peffer used in cinema front-of-house displays for the 1976 movie, ‘Under the Doctor’, a British sex comedy about a doctor, a bevy of beautiful women and their sexual problems . . . “ Can the overworked and over-titillated doctor help his patients while resisting the urge to help himself?”

Basically a non-pornographic skin-flick starring light-comedy actor Barry Evans and a host of topless British actresses! Lame stuff by modern standards, but popular with adult audiences of the time looking for a bit sex and nudity to spice up their movie visits.

This artwork previously contained a tissue overlay containing movie title, cast and production credits. Pretty useless to use as was. Thanks to an American friend, Lloyd Braddy (a print-maker capable of working magic on projects such as this one), an new overlay was created that incorporates all the text material onto a clear overlay. A great piece of work . . . thanks again, Lloyd!
