That was an excellent one.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The 23rd film in the Carry On series and the fourth (and last) of the medical themed adventures. Sid Carter (Sid James) leads a gang of thieves who plan to break into Finisham Hospital and steal a load of contraceptive pills to sell abroad. But where are they kept? Sid decides to send his son Cyril (Kenneth Cope) in undercover disguised as a nurse...They probably seem like cheap gags now, but much mirth is mined from the scenarios set up by a man undercover as a female nurse. Cue him having to share a room with a foxy babe (Babs Windsor), having to fight off the attentions of the randy Doctor Prodd (a brilliant film stealing Terry Scott) and him getting involved with medical issues he has no idea about (yikes this is a maternity hospital!). Elsewhere Joan Simms portrays a human eating machine that is three weeks over due, while her poor railway worker husband (Kenneth Connor great as always) goes insane in the waiting room. Kenneth Williams is the hypochondriac hospital manager and the wonderful Hattie Jacques gets great scenes in a film thats title and script acknowledges her work in the medical Cary On films.Briskly paced by the ever reliable Gerald Thomas, "Matron" is one of the more likable and funny Carry On entries of the 70s. 7.5/10

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

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.

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.
