"The Doctor and the Playgirl" surely isn't a shocker anymore nowadays. If people in the sixties were widely shocked by it I cannot tell but I could at least imagine that it represented very progressive models of relationships. In all of this it remains quite soft, there's nothing explicit in this film, rather the concepts presented are what marks it scandalous.
Personally I think that the story even has some potential. Not like in other "shocking" movies, there is kind of a plot worked out that could lead to suspense, unfortunately the realization is at best mediocre so that this is not really a movie that makes you forget everything around you.
What seemed a bit strange to me was the attempt to moralize a bit in the very end of the movie. That seemed a bit half-hearted for a movie advertising with sex and scandals.
All in all it is neither a great pleasure to watch this one, nor is it a torture. See and forget.
