7/10
One of the first 'Carry Ons' and one of the best. ***1/2 out of *****

CARRY ON NURSE was the second of 30 Films in the series which ran from 1958-1992 and has most of the regular team appearing including Kenneth Williams, Kenneth Connor, Charles Hawtrey, Hattie Jacques, Leslie Philips and Joan Sims (on her Carry on Debut).

As the title suggests,it's set in a Hospital ward where the 'Carry on' team is suffering from various ailments, driving the Nurses (Joan Hickson, Joan Sims, Shirley Eaton) along with the feared Matron (Hattie Jacques) to despair with their antics.

Also starring, Wilfrid Hyde-White,Terrence Longdon & Bill Owen

CARRY ON NURSE is very amusing without going overboard with the smutty and sexist innuendo that later productions in the Series became dependant on.

CARRY ON NURSE was the most successful 'CARRY ON' of the series becoming the highest grossing Film in the UK during 1959 and it was also highly successful in the United States.

Followed by CARRY ON TEACHER (1959)
