A hapless doctor’s first day spirals into saucy chaos at a British hospital where uniforms are strictly optional.
WHAT'S UP NURSE!
Raising more than a temperature!
When Dr. Robert "Sweeney" Todd arrives to fill his post at a new hospital, he is shocked to see the lengths that the nurses go to in caring for their patients. Of course Dr. Todd is no prude, and it isn't long before he's joining in on all the lusty, after-hours fun.
Paging Dr. Todd—your dignity is missing, last seen somewhere between the nurse’s station and the linen closet.
If Carry On got a little less coy, you’d land smack in the middle of What's Up Nurse!, where the only thing more accident-prone than Dr. Sweeney is the hospital’s dress code. Expect a parade of bare rear ends and double entendres only British sex comedies could deliver.

Synopsis
Why Cult
This film is a product of the UK's bawdy sex comedy tradition—cheeky nurses, awkward doctors, and plenty of risqué mishaps.
Dr. Sweeney’s new job quickly devolves into after-hours misadventures with the staff and patients, all played for maximum naughty laughs.
Female nudity—rear, frontal, and full—is practically a character, adding to the film’s unabashedly erotic approach to comedy.
Familiar faces like John Le Mesurier, Graham Stark, and Peter Butterworth round out a cast that knows exactly how to deliver a wink and a nudge.
