4/10
The twentieth best Carry On Film
25 August 2023
RANKING: With Carry On Screaming ranked as number 1 and Carry On England at 30, this is definitely in the bottom group but not quite scraping the bottom of the barrel. Compared with the "costume" films, the "modern dress" ones feel as though they're from a completely different series of films - a much shabbier series.

TYPICAL: This has a very familiar feel about it, essentially because it's a bawdier remake of CARRY ON REGARDLESS which they did a decade earlier. The same jokes, the same cast and even the same locations and sets are recycled. It's marginally better than the original but like REGARDLESS, it's clearly done on the cheap so has a completely different feel to historical parodies. Two additions which don't quite fit in are Richard O'Callaghan being the character Jim Dale would have been and Terry Scott being Terry Scott.

SEXY LADIES: The other essential of a Carry On film is saucy, sexy ladies. This one is famous for featuring the ample-breasted Imogen Hassell but Sexiest Carry-On Lady award goes again to Jacki Piper returning to the series after being "Jane" in the Tarzan parody made a few months before, UP THE JUNGLE. Not only extremely pretty and lovely but in this she wears the shortest dress in the world.
