VHS : Carry On Nurse [1958] .
Rating: 
- Second Carry On Film
Carry On Nurse saw the series hit the jackpot with this proving an enormous box office suucess in the U.S.A where it ran in some cinemas for an astounding 2 and a half years! Whilst some firmly regard this as one of the best of the entire series, it has to be said that this film has nothing on some of the later medical entries such as Doctor (1967) (even though that was a virtually an updated remake of Nurse), Again Doctor (1969) and Matron (71). The film develops at a leisurley pace and has no real back bone of a plot. Hattie Jaques plays the no-nonsense Matron which would become something of her trademark in the series, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Kenneth Connor and Leslie Phillips are amongst the patients and Joan Sims makes her debut apperance in a Carry On film (who would stay with the series through to Carry On Emmanuelle in 1978) as a clumsy, accident-prone nurse. A gentle comedy that doesn't quite hit the delights of some of the series future entries but with the vast majority of the regulars being involved its defintley worth a look!
Rating: - Easily The Best Carry On!
Most Carry On Fans will agree that the early films were the best. We all have our own favourites however, and this is one of mine. The entire story takes place in a Men's Medical Ward in a large Hospital. Movie buffs will recognise the rear gardens and the front of the main building as Pinewood Studios where so many of the Carry Ons were made. All the main Carry On characters are here. Kenneth Williams as an academic who incidentally has his only romance in the entire series; Kenneth Connor as a boxer; Charles Hawtrey as a music fanatic; and the delightful Leslie Philips as a womaniser who spends most of his time eyeing up the nurses until that final scene which is very very funny by the way, in the operating theatre. Its a laugh a minute. Might look dated to some, but one cannot deny the presence of so many wonderful comedy actors who hold the film together. For an old movie, picture and sound are quite good. Can be bought for a great price too.
Rating:
- Classic Carry On Comedy
Being one of the early ones of course it is still in black and white but as soon as you forget about this lack of colour you can start to enjoy Kenneth William's hysterical one liners. Always a classic that is more than re-watchable. A mad story about patients trying to over rule the hospital. Very funny
