Carry On Nurse

Carry On Nurse, 1959

The top grossing film of 1959 in the UK and the second outing for the Carry On team.  Carry On Nurse was based on the play Ring For Catty by Patrick Cargill and Jack Beale.  It’s interesting that the film was also highly successful in the US, where it was reported that it played at some cinemas for three years.  It featured Joan Sims in her first Carry On Appearance and was the first time Leslie Philips uttered that now immortal phrase “Ding Dong”.

Summary

Carry On Nurse  caused a national sensation when a  daffodil replaced a thermometer – you know where! The Carry On team have picked up their stethoscopes and bed pans for a strong dose of hospital humour. Hattie Jacques is the infamous matron, doing battle with the patients in the second of the world famous Carry On series.
