What's Up Nurse! is a 1978 British comedy film directed by Derek Ford and starring Nicholas Field, Felicity Devonshire, and John Le Mesurier. The movie is centered around two nurses, Alice and Eileen, who work at St. Catherines hospital. Both of them get into trouble as they accidentally give a patient the wrong medication, leading to hilarious consequences.

As the movie begins, Alice (Felicity Devonshire) and Eileen (Penny Meredith) are shown struggling with their jobs as nurses in St. Catherines hospital. They are both clumsy and often get into trouble, but they are well-intentioned and do their best to take care of their patients. One day, they are tasked with administering medication to a wealthy patient, who is staying in a private room. However, they mix up the medication, giving the patient a strong sedative instead of a mild dose of painkillers. This leads to the patient becoming heavily sedated and missing an important meeting.

To make matters worse, the patient's wife is the head of the hospital board and she is outraged by what has happened. She demands that the nurses be fired, and the hospital administrator, Sir Gregory Upshott (John Le Mesurier), has no choice but to comply. Alice and Eileen are devastated, but they decide to take matters into their own hands and try to clear their names.

They end up teaming up with a doctor named Simon Sparrow (Nicholas Field), who is something of a ladies' man, to try and fix things. Together, they come up with a plan to steal the patient's medical notes from the hospital safe, so they can prove that they weren't entirely to blame for what happened. Along the way, they encounter various obstacles and there are many comedic mishaps as they try to outsmart the nurses and administrators who are on their trail.

What's Up Nurse! is a classic British comedy, with all the hallmarks of the genre: fast-paced action, witty dialogue, and plenty of slapstick humor. The film features a talented cast of actors, each of whom brings their own unique style and energy to the story. Nicholas Field is particularly impressive as the suave and charming Simon Sparrow, and his scenes with Felicity Devonshire are a highlight of the movie. John Le Mesurier is also excellent as the bumbling and oblivious Sir Gregory Upshott, who is constantly one step behind the nurses and doctors.

The film is set in the late 1970s, which adds to its charm and gives it a nostalgic feel. The costumes and sets are all typical of the era and help to transport viewers back in time. The movie also features a great soundtrack, with upbeat and catchy tunes that keep the energy level high throughout.

Overall, What's Up Nurse! is a fun and enjoyable movie that will appeal to fans of classic British comedies. It has all the elements of a great comedy: likable characters, hilarious situations, and a happy ending. While it may not be the most intellectually stimulating film, it's certainly a lot of fun to watch and is sure to bring a smile to viewers' faces.
