'''''In the Doghouse''''' is a 1962 British [[comedy film]] directed by [[Darcy Conyers]] and starring [[Leslie Phillips]] and [[Peggy Cummins]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b6ad30b04|title=In the Doghouse (1961)|publisher=}}</ref> Shot in [[Black and white|black-and-white]], the film was based on the bestselling novel ''It's a Vet's Life'' by Alex Duncan.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.britmovie.co.uk/films/In-the-Doghouse_1961/|title=Britmovie - Home of British Films|publisher=}}</ref>

The title refers to the British expression of a person being "in the doghouse" when a person is ostracised usually relating to a husband for domestic bad behaviour, and usually used in the third person e.g. "he is in the doghouse because... "

==Plot==
Jimmy Fox-Upton ([[Leslie Philips]]) is an accident prone and less than brilliant veterinary student in his final year of college having already failed his finals 4 times. He unexpectedly passes and his good heart outweighs any academic shortcomings.

He takes over an old practice and becomes rivals with a fellow student who opens a very swanky practice around the corner. Jimmy keeps a [[chimpanzee]] in the surgery.

The overarching plot revolves around trying to prevent a consignment of horses being sent to [[France]] as meat by a Mr Peddle aided by Skeffington.

Near the end of the film a lion escapes into a crowded pet show filled with a variety of both pets and people.

The three main heroes try to sabotage the shipment of horses but end up tied in the back of the lorry with the horses. The chimpanzee unties them.

They then chase Peddle and Skeffington on the rescued horses. This gets in the newspapers.

The vet is then called to [[Buckingham Palace]] to treat the corgis.

==Critical reception==
The ''[[Radio Times]]'' wrote "...makes a fine comic vehicle for Leslie Phillips, who has to resort to his trademark charm to atone for his misadventures as he begins life as a qualified vet (after spending years trying to pass his final exams. However, he also gets to reveal an unexpected action-man side as he thwarts a horse-smuggling ring. ... Despite booming support from Hattie Jacques, this patchy film is perhaps most significant for bringing down the curtain on the career of Peggy Cummins, who made her first film in 1940 at the age of 15."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.radiotimes.com/film/cjgtx/in-the-doghouse|title=In the Doghouse - Film from RadioTimes|publisher=}}</ref>
