Quick Answer

What is What's Up Nurse! about?

What's Up Nurse! is a 1977 United Kingdom comedy film directed by Derek Ford about an accident-prone young doctor whose misadventures with mostly naked women begin the moment he arrives at his new hospital.

Programmer's Pick

If your idea of hospital care involves more bare skin than bandages, What's Up Nurse! is the prescription. This British sex comedy doesn't miss a chance for cheeky humor, with Dr. Todd's innocent mishaps landing him in one risqué situation after another.

Overview

When Dr. Robert 'Sweeney' Todd arrives at his new hospital post—rather inauspiciously, attached to a naked young woman on a stretcher—his professional debut is off to a memorable start. Sweeney, naïve and perpetually accident-prone, quickly finds his troubles are largely of the seductive variety, as the hospital's staff and patients rarely keep their clothes on for long. The hospital is a hotbed of lusty escapades, with nurses going to unusual lengths in the name of patient care and a boss whose daughter, Olivia, has her own uniquely adventurous inclinations. Expect a British sex comedy that gleefully embraces farce, nudity, and innuendo.

Why This Matters
