Trivia
Jack Douglas didn't receive a fee for his cameo appearance. Instead producer Peter Rogers sent him a crate of twelve bottles of Dom Perignon champagne. See more »Goofs
As Sid and his villains drive into Finisham Hospital car park in their Ford Zodiac, it can be clearly seen that the car has two normal windscreen wipers. However, when you see a view of them sitting in the car after it has stopped, the windscreen wipers are nowhere to be seen, only the stalks where the wipers should be are visible. See more »Quotes

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
