Twice Round the Daffodils is a 1962 British comedy-drama film directed by Gerald Thomas and starring Juliet Mills, Donald Sinden, Donald Houston, Kenneth Williams, Ronald Lewis, Andrew Ray, Joan Sims and Jill Ireland.[1] A new group of patients arrive at a hospital to be treated for tuberculosis where they all take a fancy to one of the nurses.[2] The film was adapted from the play Ring for Catty by Patrick Cargill and Jack Beale. Carry On Nurse from 1959 was based on the same play.
