TOP 10  Holywood Movies With Dentists In Major Roles

Check out the interesting collection of some of the Hollywood dentists where dentists played a major role - from being romantics to outright psychos.

2.The Dentist (Leslie Pearce, 1932)

Old is Gold!

Sometimes the statement is more than truth!

One of the earliest movies with the dentist as a focal character.

Fields play a dentist whose daughter desires to marry an ice-delivery man. He disapproves of this match, especially after she attempts to elope with her lover. Fields lock her up in an upstairs room, above his dental office, where she proceeds to stamp her feet, causing plaster chunks to fall as he attempts to treat his patients.

Various patients with unusual physical traits (a tall “horse”-faced woman, a tiny, densely bearded man) arrive at the office, and he attempts to use his dental drill on them without any apparent painkiller.

With one of his patients (Elise Cavanna), he engages in a close wrestling match as he attempts to extract a painful tooth.

It is tough to get a copy of this movie. However, if you can manage to get a copy then do tell us also.


1.The Man Who Knew Too Much (Alfred Hitchcock, 1934)

Interesting fact about this Hitchcock thriller starring Leslie Banks: the famous dentist scene, to which Marathon Man’s “Is it safe?” sequence owes a great deal of debt, was initially intended to take place in a barbershop.

Indeed, it was only when Hitchcock saw the film I am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang, which features a scene in a barbershop just like it, that he changed the setting to dental surgery. Hitchcock would later remake TMWTM, in 1956, with James Stewart and Doris Day in the lead roles.
