The cast and production team of Twice Round the Daffodils create a noticeable similarity with the Carry On films, but the film is not an official member of the Carry On series.

The film was shot at Pinewood Studios using Heatherden Hall as the sanatorium.

Plot

A new group of patients arrives at a hospital to be treated for tuberculosis where they each take a fancy to one of the nurses.[1]

The patients include John, a Welsh coal miner in a state of denial about his disease; Ian, a woman-chasing RAF officer; Bob, a man losing his girlfriend due to his internment; George, a West Countryman farmer; and the young Chris, a trainee chef bullied by John about his masculinity.
