The "Carry On..." debut of Joan Sims. Sims became the longest serving female member of the Carry On team, appearing in 24 of the series from 1959.
Joan Sims was second choice to play Nurse Dawson.
Wilfrid Hyde-White agreed to play the Colonel in order to return to England for the Grand National Horse race. A picture of a horse is seen on the bedside locker cupboard next to him during scenes.
Bob Monkhouse was offered to play a major role but passed because he thought the fee being offered was far too low.
