Dentist on the Job was a 1961 British comedy film, in black and white, directed by C.M. Pennington-Richards. It was released in the USA with the title Get on with it!. It is the sequel to Dentist in the Chair. The film was co-written by Bob Monkhouse (who also appeared in the film) and Hazel Adair. Notable actors appearing in the film include Kenneth Connor, Shirley Eaton, Richard Wattis, Charles Hawtrey and Arthur Mullard (uncredited).
The film is referenced in the Special Edition DVD of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, since it is the film which is erroneously shown by the projectionist (Terry Jones) at the beginning of the film. This film was presumably chosen for its alternate title, Get on with it!, a phrase used throughout The Holy Grail.
[edit] Plot outline
Colonel Proudfoot of Proudfoot Industries tries to entice a couple of newly qualified dentists to advertise "Dreem", a revolutionary type of toothpaste, but he knows that if the dentists learn that they are part of an advertising campaign, they will be struck off, and the campaign will be a disaster.
