Storyline
| Plot Summary |
A group of male patients must remain in a tuberculosis sanatorium for a considerable time, as there was no direct cure at the time other than fresh air. Antagonisms, in some cases quite extreme, develop between the patients, and romantic complications arise with the nurses, and with the patients' wives. At the end of a calendar year, they are all fit to be sent home at the same time, and the tensions have mostly subsided, and one romance with a nurse has developed into a firm relationship.

| Trivia | This is one of the very few of Kenneth Williams' films that he actually liked. According to his diaries, it was because it was more of a drama than the usual "Carry On" fare. See more » |
