1950's Comedy

Hi, hoping someone can help here, as I have been trying to track this film down for ages.
This black & white comedy( ?)film played very late at night on ITV, probably around 1997, but was made (I assume) in the 1950s or so.
The premise was this: A girl had been writing stories using her uncle(?) as the main character, making him out to be this wonderful romantic, perfect man. The uncle happened to be the town/village doctor. The story/stories wound up being published as a book and when the townsfolk got wind of it all the women there thought the stories were true and were besotted by the doctor.
The scene I remember once the book was published was the doctor/uncle arriving at his practise in the morning and it was rammed with women waiting to be seen for appointments. He was well baffled.
This is all I remember, other than I loved the film. I also think that the title of the film was also the title of the book that the girl had published (although I could be mistaken there).
Thanks.

Amb.

That premise seems rather reminiscent of 'The Colonel's Lady' in the W. Somerset Maugham anthology film Quartet (1848).

Checking it, that doesn't seem to be what the OP described. The premise sounds vaguely similar to me also, although I can't think of from what.

I think I just found it.

Please Turn Over (1959)


EDIT
I looked at the Wikipedia entry and that's it. The doctor part is a subplot and not the main part of the story.

Just seen this thread and was about to reply to it with Please Turn Over when I saw that you'd got it already.

You knew it. I had to screw around with the IMDb search engine until I found a word that got me to it.
