Dr. Jack (1922)

 A young woman is kept shut in her house by a quack physician. The title character has different therapeutic opinions; he is also enamored with the patient and thinks she has no health problem. A conflict between the two physicians arises.

Entertaining comedy which has a very good first half and a not so good second one. The film's plot is obviously dated, as Medicine is more regulated today, and quacks, though still around, are more easily detected. But the film can be enjoyed regardless of that, though a little less once Dr. Jack's bizarre impersonation is put in action as a means to unmask the phony doctor.

Rating: 56
