Carry on
Matron
We have some of the old magic, as this between Scott and Cope:
"What about a little drink?" "Oh, no, no, I never touch it." "Oh.
Cigarette then?" "No, I never touch them." "That leaves only one
thing to offer you." "I never touch that either."
With Bernard Bresslaw posing as a pregnant women, he also looks
great in a nurses uniform.
Kenneth Williams attempting to seduce Hattie Jacques while Charles
Hawtrey is hiding in a cupboard is a pure drawer room farce
Kenneth Williams's description of premarital relations is
priceless: "You don't just go into the shop and buy enough for the
whole room, you tear yourself off a little strip and try it first!"
"That may be so," counters Jacques, "but you're not going to stick
me up against a wall." Williams really comes to life in his scenes
with Hattie, and you can never get bored of hearing a tin whistle
whenever someone accidentally flashes their knickers.
No, I do not believe in free love and what's more I think it's
very insulting of you to ask me." "Well you don't believe in paying
for it, do you?",
