Doc Hollywood (1991 Michael Caton-Jones)

Based on book "What.. Dead Again?" by Neil Shulman, adapted by Laurian Leggett, written by Jeffrey Price, Peter Seaman and Daniel Pyne - with that many writers it should be passably entertaining, and it is more than that.

Michael J Fox is the titular medic who falls for Julie Warner (I know, who?) whose dramatic naked opening appearance and lines are laughably missing from ITV's version. Town characters include David Ogden Stiers, Woody Harrelson, Bridget Fonda (good; she seems to have retired, unfortunately), Frances Sternhagen, Roberts Blossom (judge), Barnard Hughes and Eyde Byrde as the nurse.


Amusement with car repairs, pig etc. And why not?
