Francis Bigger, 'Preacher And Healer', Ends Up In Hospital In This Chaotic Carry-on Medical Movie. With Dr. Kilmore in Trouble, Matron Refuses To Support Him After The Amorous Attentions She Has Fed Dr. Tinkle Have Paid Off. There's A Humorous But Slight Role For Charles Hawtrey Suffering From A Sympathetic Pregnancy And The Film Closes With The Patients Revenge On Dr. Tinkle And The Formidable Matron Because Of Their Conspiracy Against Dr. Kilmore.
TheLittleSongbird I have always liked/loved the Carry on movies, and this is no exception. I do agree that the story is thin, it is, but the humour and cast elevate it. The humour is very bawdy but it never ceases to be hilarious, whether in the script or the innuendos. The film looks pretty good too, the music is quirky, the direction is solid and the film goes along at a good pace. The cast are great as per usual, it was wonderful to see all of those I love. Sidney James, who was genuinely bedridden for much of the film is good still, while Kenneth Williams is very funny as the sneering consultant. Jim Dale is funny and charming as the clumsy Dr Kilmore and Frankie Howerd makes for an impressive series debut. But Charles Hawtrey steals the show as he experiences the pangs of a "sympathetic" pregnancy. Overall, a fun entry in the series. 8/10 Bethany Cox
Jackson Booth-Millard I had seen the follow up film Carry On Again Doctor before this, and compared this isn't as classic, but it is still watchable, it apparently follows from where Carry On Nurse left off. Basically Francis Bigger (Frankie Howerd) is the "preacher and healer" who doesn't believe in hospital treatment, that's only until he needs it himself. So we follow him to hospital, where Francis is terrible agony, and hanging out with fellow patients "sick" Charlie Roper (Sid James, who was really bed-written at the time of making, after suffering a heart attack), overly sympathetic - at his (wife's) pregnancy - Mr. Barron (Charles Hawtrey) and broken-legged Ken Biddle (Bernard Bresslaw). There is not much story for a while, just a load of chaotic incidents with Francis and his injury, some shouting to his deaf "girlfriend" Chloë Gibson (Joan Sims), the arrival of the endearing Nurse Sandra May (Barbara Windsor), and some discussions between Dr. Kenneth Tinkle (Kenneth Williams) and his accomplice Matron (Hattie Jacques). But a story does develop when clumsy Dr. Jim Kilmore (Jim Dale) is sacked for apparently spying on Sandra May, pulling down the bottoms of Nurse Clarke (Anita Harris), and landing in the bath of another nurse. All the patients know he innocent, and revolt against the staff to get him his job back, even if that means torturing Tinkle and Matron. Also starring Peter Butterworth as Mr. Smith and Carry On Camping's Dilys Laye as Mavis Winkle. There are some good old fashioned slapstick gags, and a tiny bit of sauciness, and even though Again Doctor has much more of these things, doesn't mean you shouldn't try it. Worth watching!
Jimmy Green Did you?No, you wouldn't let me.What a line. This film is cheesy as they come, but it's all part of a British institution - the Carry On films. If you're not a Brit or you haven't seen any of these films then allow me to elaborate for a moment. Made between the late 50s and late 70s (except for one execrable exception from 1992), 28 films with the title "Carry On..." celebrated the best of UK 'seaside humour'. In other words, tit jokes. There's something inherently satisfying about watching this film in particular, one of my desert island films. Maybe it's the ridiculous puns, or the silly prat-falls, or the comfort of watching familiar faces. Who knows? But it is pretty funny. *Spoilers*Dr. Kilmore ("Did you hear about the pregnant bedbug? She had a baby in the spring") is a handsome doctor who the nurses fancy and the blokes think is pretty cool. Dr Tinkle ("Cold baths every hour, matron.") hates him, as does the infatuated-with-Dr-Tinkle Matron ("This hospital is not big enough for both of us, Doctor." "Oh, I don't know, you're not that big, Matron."). Nurse May (Barbara Windsor) fancies Dr Tinkle. And it all sort of moves on from there, apart from Francis Bigger, a 'positive thinker' with a bad back, and his deaf partner Chloe ("She's a bit mutt, doctor."). There's lots of puerile wordplay ("Ooh, what a lovely pear." "You took the words right out of my mouth!"), half-naked women on rooftops, falling over, exaggerated facial expressions and hammy acting. In other words, business as usual for the Carry Ons.I love this film.
