Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

wagtheschmoo Saw this in college 58 years ago! Enjoyed it so much that I made a point to see every "Carry On" movie that came out after that. The most hilarious scene was the final one, of course. But the big surprise came as we exited the theater ... an employee handed each person a large, plastic daffodil! Priceless!

Leofwine_draca My favourite Carry On films are the ones set within a single location: such plot devices allow the scriptwriters to focus on amusing character aspects and interactions, while the ones that have the team travelling all over the place feel a little contrived.CARRY ON NURSE is set entirely on a men's ward and proves to be one of the very best the series had to offer, made long before the rot set in (i.e. colour, endless tired smut, Barbara Windsor). Sid James isn't present, but most of the team are and on top form with plenty of gentle humour and exaggerated laughs.Of the group, Kenneth Connor bags the best role as a boxer with a broken wrist. Kenneth Williams gives strong support playing his usual snobby character, Charles Hawtrey gets to dress up as a nurse, and Wilfrid Hyde-White may be the most annoying patient ever to grace the screen (the much-remembered end gag is well deserved). The likes of Bill Owen, Terence Longdon and Leslie Phillips round out the rest of the blokes.The nurses are the equals of the gents. Joan Sims supplies the pratfalls, Hattie Jacques is excellent as the Matron (a role that's defined her ever since) and Shirley Eaton is quite wonderful as the one everybody loves. In fact, nobody puts a foot wrong, and that's what makes CARRY ON NURSE so great: it's a genuinely funny film throughout with never a dull moment.

beresfordjd Yes it has dated terribly but it is from 1959!! It was in the days when the Carry On films were actually funny rather than a series of arch double entendres. Comic actors of the calibre of Irene Handl and Wilfrid Hyde-Whyte populated the films in those days and even the constants like Kenneth Williams and Hattie Jacques were at the top of their game instead of the tired parodies they became later in the series. Even the scripts were much better and they had some kind of believable plot. It was a great pity that the series became synonymous with smut in later movies. I grew very tired of the later films but will always champion the first 5 or 6 as genuinely British comedies to stand alongside any produced in the fifties or sixties.

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.
