Nurse on Wheels

Nurse on Wheels is a 1963 British comedy film directed by Gerald Thomas, and starring Juliet Mills, Ronald Lewis, and Joan Sims.

There are some fine comedy performances in this featherweight exercise, but only in widely scattered instances are the players helped along much by the Norman Hudis screenplay from Joanna Jones' novel "Nurse Is a Neighbour."

Yarn has to do with the experiences encountered by a newly-assigned young district nurse (Juliet Mills) in a rural community populated by the most accident-prone individuals ever to hit the screen-outside of a Tom & Jerry cartoon.

The premise is put forth promisingly, enacted vigorously, summed up entertainingly, and the small-town setting is a refreshing change-of-pace from the previous "Carry On" atmosphere.

She produced the popular Doctor series, while he was responsible for four hospital-based Carry Ons and this charming comedy that reunited him with Juliet Mills, who had played a nurse in the previous year's Twice round the Daffodils.
