Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was Bill Bixby's last film role after a thirty-year acting career.
- GoofsDr Sloan writes 'iatrogenic' on the blackboard and when he explains the meaning to his students he first points to 'genic' and says 'doctor' then he points to 'iatros' and says 'induced'. Of course it's the other way round! - no doctor practicing western medicine could ever make this mistake.

Featured review
Now I'm hooked
I'm totally not the target audience for these feature-length tv movies of the Diagnosis Murder series, but I watched them chronologically to celebrate Dick Van Dyke's week on Hot Toasty Rag. They're so cute! Now I can't wait to watch the full series.
Talk about a trustable doctor; I'd love to have Dick Van Dyke to fix my aches and pains. And watching these movies (or episodes) now in the 2020s knowing that he's still around and incredibly active, it's very cute. Hopefully he doesn't still roller skate to work, but we do know he still dances. In Diagnosis of Murder, he takes tap lessons from a patient in lieu of payment. In The House on Sycamore Street, he performs a rap song while teaching a class. What a doll.
I loved seeing Dick's mature, enthusiastic energy carry the supporting characters through the movie. The women's fashion and hair were also fun to see, like a time capsule from 1992. I couldn't stop thinking of Arthur Kennedy whenever William Atherton on the screen; I looked him up online to see if they were related. But speaking of related, how adorable is it that Dick and Barry Van Dyke play father and son on the show? I'm hooked now, and I'll watch as much Diagnosis Murder as I can in the future.
