Nurse on Wheels 1963

Overview

Nurse on Wheels is a 1963 British comedy and romance film directed by Gerald Thomas and running for one hour and twenty-five minutes. The screenplay was written by Norman Hudis and based on the novel Nurse is my Neighbour by Joanna Jones, who used the pseudonym John Burke. The film stars Juliet Mills, Ronald Lewis, and Joan Sims.

The story follows a quietly competent young woman named Joanna as she moves with her scatterbrain mother to a country village to take up her first job as a District Nurse. She soon overcomes the suspicion of her patients, who are used to someone rather older, and becomes romantically involved with a local farmer. The romance faces complications, however, when the farmer tries to evict a newly arrived expectant couple who have parked their caravan on his land.
