Review Summary: What a Carry On!

Overall Score: 3/5

Review: The third in the series to be given a medical setting is a good one at that although perharps does'nt manage to quite surpass the popularity of any of the previous medical titles - NURSE (1958) and DOCTOR (1967) although is still a good entry at that with this holding quite a number of laughs even though they are - as always - corny and predictable. The trick is the way they're delivered by this team of professionals. Most of the best Carry On players are here which are JIM DALE, JOAN SIMS, KENNETH WILLIAMS, BARBARA WINDSOR, SID JAMES (in a questionably smaller role than usual), CHARLES HAWTREY and HATTIE JAQUES who yet again turns up as the Matron although is less fierce in this entry. The plot is typically wafer thin centered around the discovery of a slimming potion found in the Beatific Islands which is worth a fortune. Unrealistic of course but this is comedy after all and theres lots of fun to be had. The first half of the film looks like settling down as another hospital comedy but then it trails off to the Beatific Islands where SID JAMES is introduced. SID is in a great role here but is given much shorter screen time than usual surprisingly. On the whole a good comedy that is a must for all Carry On fans.
