Plot

Robert Young reprises his long-running (1969-75) TV character Dr. Marcus Welby, though there's little if any medical activity in the 1988 TV movie Marcus Welby, M.D.: A Holiday Affair. Widowed and retired, Welby takes a vacation to France and Switzerland. Here he finds romance with Alexis Smith, a wealthy American divorcee. Ms. Smith's real-life husband Craig Stevens shows up in the role of the divorcee's rejected suitor. Marcus Welby, M.D.; A Holiday Affair is a pleasant but pointless geography lesson that could just as easily have featured Jim Anderson, Robert Young's character on Father Knows Best.
