Carry on Matron

From the opening scenes when the camera shows the name of the maternity hospital and then pans round to a sign that says deliveries in at the rear you know it is a classic Carry On movie a fun film for the entire family as the kids will love the slapstick humour as the parents laugh at the double entendres. Another classic scene is the newt club scene between Kenneth Williams and Charles Hawtrey. This classic Carry On will have everyone rolling about crying with laughter as the trainee nurse played by Kenneth Cole is forced to go on an emergency call out with Dr Prodd (Terry Scott) and winds up sedating the doctor with a syringe full of medication

I love all these "terrible old fashion" Carry On movies, since I can remember. And "Carry On Matron" is absolutely great. I have to laugh all the time. Kenneth Williams is sooo funny in this movie, and with Hattie Jaques they are the funniest couple in the film history. he is very thin and she is so big. Carry on - Laughing !!!

A gang of thieves plan to make their fortune by stealing a shipment of contraceptive pills from Finisham maternity hospital and make one of them disguised and infiltrated the hospital. The last excursion into the often-used hospital territory, and one with bright moments and performances, though it goes over the top in a very laborious way.

It's fair to say Carry on Matron isn't perhaps as original as Doctor or Nurse, but there are some genuinely hilarious moments in this film, the duo of Kenneth Williams and Charles Hawtrey are the making of the film, their scenes together are comedy gold. Each time I watch the pair talking about 'Hamlet' it truly cheers me up. It is fair to say that some of the material has been recycled but it's still great fun. Hattie Jacques is brilliant in the title role, I do find it a little sad she'd now been type cast as the battleaxe Matron, especially when you see how fabulous she was in Cabby. Kenneth Cope is odd in the part somehow but just about gets away with it, but poor Bernard Bresslaw, he was idiotic in this, a better actor then the part. It is one of the better latter day Carry on films, lots of laughs, and a comedy master class from Kenneth Williams. I am struck by the quality of the production values, it looks and sounds great. I find this a truly feel good film.

Carry on Matron is one of the funniest carry on movies i have ever seen in my life. This movie was made in 1972, starring Sid James, Hattie Jacques, Terry Scott, Kenneth Williams, Barbara Windsor. Those actors/actresses are fantastic ones. Thye are very funny and i think they have chosen the perfect roles for the carry on movies they have starred in. Sadly though, now these days, there is only Barbara Windsor still alive that i have mentioned earlier. Sid James, Terry Scott, Hattie Jacques and Kenneth Willams sadly died years ago. Carry on Doctor, Carry on Again Doctor, and Carry on Nurse are another example that is simalar ot Carry on Matron. I give this movie 10 out of 10.

This is excellent. The only word to describe this film is excellent.Its a real treat from beginning to end.For those who have not seen this film you haven't lived!!!. Everyone is enjoying themselves in the Finisham maternity hospital. The film has the lot Innudendo gags saucy jokes and all good clean fun!! Sid Bernie Hattie Charlie Kenny Williams and Kenny Connor, Babs as Nurse Susan Ball. Terry Scott Dr Prodd. Joan Sims plays the ever expectant mother. Jacki Piper and Patsy Rowlands are joining in the fun. The film is great along with Doctor the best medical carry on film!!.Patsy has short screen time which is a shame. This was the highlight of the carry on series. A good film for Terry Scott to leave the series from as with Jacki Piper.10/10

Carry On Matron is one of the best of the Carry On movies and I first saw this when I was quite young. A gang of crooks are after a load of pills and try to get them from Finisham Matarnity Hospital. One of the gang dresses up as a woman nurse but still fails to succeed. They get them towards the end but most of the hospital's staff and patients stop them. Also, the Matron and Sir Bernard Cutting are married at the end. Most of the Carry On gang are in this, including Hattie Jacques in the title role, Kenneth Williams, Sid James, Charles Hawtrey, Babs Windsor, Bernard Bresslaw, Joan Sims, Kenneth Conner and Terry Scott. This also stars Kenneth Cope, Bill Maynard (Heartbeat) and a young Wendy Richard, who of course now stars alongside Babs in EastEnders. Excellent stuff from all. Have a laugh with Carry On Matron. Very funny. Ratinf: 3 stars out of 5.
