carry on matron (1972)


"My wife doesn't like it!"
The Carry on team again decamp to a hospital setting. This time a gang of criminals, led by Sid James plan on stealing drugs from a hospital. They hit on a plan to infiltrate the staff with Kenneth Cope dragging up as a nurse. Meanwhile various other members of the team turn up as neurotic doctors, nurses or patients.
By this point the Carry on team had hit its stride, treading a fine line between slapstick, sight gags and double entendre's. You either love 'em or hate them. To me it's fine sunday afternoon fare, if it's on tv.
