Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

bkoganbing The nursing profession gets a look in this second of the Carry On series of films. Carry On Nursing takes place in the public male ward of a hospital where we have one interesting section of cross Brittania Carry On style.Among the patients are boxer Kenneth Connor, professor Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey who seems to be in his own world, Terence Longden who is getting acquainted with nurse Shirley Eaton, Leslie Phillips who just wants a bunion removed and keeps getting that constantly postponed and in a private room a most demanding colonel Wilfrid Hyde-White. Hyde- White is a sportsman and has an arrangement with one of the orderlies to keep his bets being placed.They all live in mortal terror of the head matron Hattie Jacques who is the mother of Nurse Ratched. They'd all like to do something to her, but only Williams actually tells her off.The climax of this film is hysterical as Williams who believes he can master any subject reads a book on surgery and decides to do a little operating to help his mate Phillips out. The others all join in with Hawtrey in a nurses uniform keeping a lookout and Connor applying a little too much anesthesia all around. You have to see it to believe it.Carry On Nurse is a great followup film to Carry On Sergeant and insured this series would have a life.

Robert J. Maxwell Since I bought the boxed set, I'm compelled to watch all 43 episodes of the "Carry On" series -- or is it 430? Of the few I've watched so far, this is the most grounded in reality and the most amusing. The usual faces are present, although Wilfred Hyde-White is new, at least to me. He's an ornery and authoritarian old Major who's continually bothering the nurses with complaint and spends his time place bets on the horses with Billy, the janitor.At the end of the movie, when things are resolve and couples properly paired off, Wilfred Hyde-White gets what's coming to him. A nurse enters his room and tells him his temperature must be taken rectally, so he should bare himself and roll over prone. He does so and she inserts not a thermometer but a daffodil she's plucked from a vase.Now -- if this is funny rather than silly, it's your kind of movie. It's not too funny to me but I may be turning into the kind of old crab that Hyde-White has become.However, for lagniappe, there is Shirley Eaton, who I wish would come and take care of me instead of those ragged and louche neurotics in the Fosdick Ward. I need her to share her warmth. There is also a young Jill Ireland, looking sweet and innocent and resembling in her porcelain good looks the ballerina she was. I'd love to see her toe dance too. Knowing of her distressful end sort of dampens the enjoyment one gets from seeing her.I said it was "grounded." What I meant was that, though many of the events are absurd, they are more likely to have taken place than the events in "Carry On Doctor," which had one of the patients, Kenneth Williams maybe, on the roof top ripping the skirt from a nurse while trying to save her. I don't suppose having a daffodil in your rear end is exactly "likely" but the probability is higher than a patient's teetering on a roof top, if you see what I mean.

w22nuschler The second Carry On movie has a lot of familiar faces from the Carry On films and other people that would become famous. Wilfred Hyde White has always been a favorite of mine. He was great in Buck Rogers 20 years after this film. He plays one of the patients. A very young Jill Ireland plays the friend of Kenneth Williams, another patient. Kenneth Connor has the most inspired role of a fighter who was injured. Shirley Eaton from Goldfinger, returns to play one of the nurses. Joan Sims had a very good role here as a bumbling nurse. Hattie Jacques plays the Matron for the first time. The movie pretty much takes place in the hospital and deals with the lives of each patient. The flow of the movie is good, but I needed a little more humor. Charles Hawtrey has some funny scenes. He like to direct music as he plays it on his ear phones. I've read it was the top money maker in the UK for that year. I don't know if it was that good, but it's enjoyable.

screenman This was the first 'Carry On' movie I saw, and watched on television.Most of The Gang are featured, and each does a sterling job with their particular character. The movie has no particular plot; it contains a series of situations and running jokes based upon the characters themselves and their various medical conditions. The playboy with a bunion, the boxer with a fracture, and so on. Campy Kenneth Williams plays an educated and rather snooty individual who thinks he can do anything. Reliable Hattie Jaques plays the role of matron with considerable panache. It's a fine mixture of medical humour, sexual innuendo, comedy of manners, with some great sight gags and situation comedy in the classic British 1950's tradition. There isn't a bum role in the movie. The sequence in which the drunken patients commandeer an operating theatre to remove the playboy's bunion only to get additionally hammered by laughing-gas is one of the funniest pieces of cinema. You can't help but laugh along with the likes of Kenneths Connor and Williams at full fog-horn. It's rather a pity that the genre got 'hijacked' in the mid 1960's and subverted into the rather narrow appeal of exclusively toilet humour. Those of the late 1950's and early 1960's are definitely both the funniest and the wittiest. Even today, 'Carry On Nurse' is great fun. It also serves to remind you how far standards of professionalism, care and hygiene have slipped in the last half-century. Today; you enter hospital at the risk of your life.
