Rosie Dixon – Night Nurse is a 1978 British comedy film directed by Justin Cartwright and starring Debbie Ash, Carolyne Argyle, Beryl Reid and John Le Mesurier.[2] It is based on a novel by Christopher Wood.

The film is one of several softcore sex comedies released in the 1970s to cash in on the success of the Confessions series (also written by Wood under the pseudonym Timothy Lea). Like the Confessions films, it was adapted from a book, the author's credit going to the fictional Rosie herself. It is the only one of the nine Rosie Dixon novels to be adapted into a movie. The character of Penny Sutton – Rosie's best friend in the movie and in the books – is the star of an earlier series of similar novels that depict Penny as an airline stewardess.

Debbie Ash was a member of the dance troupe Hot Gossip. Her sister Leslie Ash plays Rosie's sister Natalie.

Plot

A new student nurse at a hospital and attracts interest from the staff with comic consequences.
