DanTheMan 2 Mar 3 After the unexpected success of the previous outing, Carry On Nurse was soon to follow, utilising the same template and marking the first in a quartet of medical lampoons for the series. As the second film in the series, it still captures the naive charm of late '50s humour while exploring the more risque ground of the double entendre, but it is still a long way from the type of humour more associated with this franchise. Like the previous film, this film was based on a pre-existing property, Ring for Catty, and once again features a pair of romantic lovers around which a series of comic and sentimental episodes are loosely stitched together. This would be more of a problem if the gags weren't hilarious, which thankfully the majority are; the humour is far more gentle rather than forced, almost innocent at a glance, with a greater emphasis on misunderstanding, innuendo, smooth seducers and the accident-prone Joan Sims in her first appearance for the series. While the series certainly hasn't hit its stride as of yet, Carry On Nurse is still vulgar, silly and endearingly camp fun, managing to ensure the franchise's continued life.

Essentially just a series of short gags set in a hospital. Hardly any character development. But this works. Why? Maybe it's just because noone is wasted, all the characters are interesting. Nothing lke ths could be pulled off today. See more 10/30/2014 Not one of their best but still enjoyable. See more 06/30/2012 Hilarous romp about men awaiting surgery in a british hospital, sexual urges arouse for the men to ding dong a nurse. Good acting, and belivble dialouge make this a rather camp comedy. There is also a sub plot romance between Ted (Terrance Longdon) and Nurse Denton (Shirley Eaton) who is leaving for a hospital in America. See more 03/26/2012 Pills, ills and daffodils!!
