The sweetest thing...

thisbluespirit... unexpectedly spotted at the end of Carry On Nurse. I mentioned this many moons ago when I 'reviewed' the film, but could not picspam. Well, now I can, so I will.
Basically, Kenneth Connor's* character (an injured boxer) is allowed out of hospital and his wife comes to fetch him - bringing with her the little son he's been missing. So far, yada yada yada. Except it was immediately clear from the boy's reaction that it was his real son. Well, either that or he was a genius actor of a little tot. (And it was - young Jeremy Connor. I checked the internet.) So here, how nice for the Connor family that they happen to have this on film, & probably just because it was the easiest thing to do:
*(If Clocket is reading, Kenneth Connor is the one who also played Constable Constable. :-D)
Spotting Dad...
... and Dad spots his son: "Jeremy!"
Clearly the funniest thing ever: Jeremy has to pretend to punch and hit his Dad. (Remember the bit where I said Kenneth Connor was playing a boxer, yes?)
Anyway, normal service (what's that again?) will now be resumed, as I know there is probably no one but me who wanted a picspam of that, but you didn't have to watch a film from 1959 to see it.

It was only the second, and is kind of slow compared to even the other b&w, but the daffodil gag at the end was the most risque thing mainstream British cinema had seen at the time & so there came a series. :-) (This is the only moment with Kenneth and his son, though. I just thought when I saw it that it had to be his actual son, and it was.)
