Carry On Nurse Facts
In one scene where the Colonel is seen placing bets with the medical orderly, Wilfrid Hyde-White changed the name of the horse from the scripted "Bloody Mary" to "Rambler", which Hyde-White had backed earlier in the day. Harry Locke visibly reacts to the name change, but doesn't spoil the take.
When the film was released, Wilfrid Hyde-White's agent threatened to sue, on the grounds that the backside used in the daffodil gag belonged to someone other than his client. The action was dropped when it was revealed that the whole thing was done by suggestion, and that no backside is seen.
Joan Sims was second choice to play Nurse Dawson.
Producer Peter Rogers was offered a five picture deal on the strength of this film's box office success.
Bob Monkhouse was offered to play a major role but passed because he thought the fee being offered was far too low.
