Carry on Matron Poster

Publicity poster for Carry on Matron (1972) set in Finisham Maternity Hospital. This was the 23rd film in the Carry On franchise and the fourth with a medical setting. Though the franchise was on the wane by the 1970s, these remained highly popular films. The film offers us a picture of birth in hospital becoming an increasing norm.
