Windsor Davies is the saving grace
30 August 2021
Another review gave this 2 stars, and included the line "The only saving grace is Windsor Davies as the bellowing Sergeant Major". This alone saves the film for me and makes it a pleasure. It is not the best Carry On and I would rate others higher, and others a lot lot lower. But I have a soft spot for this one. The relationship between Kenneth Connor and Davies is very good and very funny, especially at the start of the film. It's also always a pleasure to see Melvyn Hayes who is rare in Carry On films. The storyline and jokes are dated (as are most of the Carry On films) but give it a chance - it may grow on you!
