Movies starring Joan Hickson

The Guinea Pig (1948)

97 mins     Drama      

It is kind of interesting watching "The Guinea Pig" as during the 80s I went to an all Boys school which had formerly been a grammar school which still had some of the types of traditions which you encounter in this movie. Th...

Seven Days to Noon (1950)

94 mins     Drama, Thriller      

Watching "Seven Days to Noon" now, 60 plus years after it was released and you have a movie which starts of a bit ropey but gets better and better as the tension mounts. It is also a movie that is very much of its time with i...

The Card (1952)

85 mins     Comedy      

Maybe it's me but you watch "The Card" and you ask yourself why can't they make movies like that anymore. I don't mean black & white movies but comedies where the amusement comes from the characters and the way the story deve...

Hindle Wakes (1952)

82 mins     Drama, Romance      

To my knowledge there have been 5 versions of "Hindle Wakes" made and this 1952 version is the fourth. Now that says something about Stanley Houghton's play that directors have seen something in it worthy of 5 adaptations and...

Carry on Nurse (1959)

86 mins     Comedy      

"Carry on Nurse" sees Hattie Jacques as Matron and a group of sexy nurses trying to control a ward of men including Leslie Phillips, Bill Owen, Kenneth Williams and Terence Longdon...

Carry on Constable (1960)

86 mins     Comedy      

I've said it before but I have to say it again, the earlier "Carry On" movies are some of the best as they are good all round fun rather than just comedies which deliver sexual innuendo. And "Carry on Constable" is a good exa...

In the Doghouse (1962)

95 mins     Comedy      

In a way "In the Doghouse" reminds me of the "Doctor in ..." movies which for a time starred Dirk Bogarde, in fact I almost wondered if someone thought about how they could rework the humour from those movies in to some thing...

Carry on Girls (1973)

88 mins     Comedy      

Put simply "Carry on Girls" is your run of the mill "Carry on" movie, not as bad as some of those which were to follow but no where near as good as the earlier ones. Basically with a storyline about a beauty contest it is ext...
