plot
Er, none to speak of. Kenneth Williams and Barbara Windsor introduce the
best bits of the Carry Ons. Although towards the end Kenneth needs a pee
and Barbara locks him in the projection booth.
review
Released as a 'B' movie to the Alistair Maclean spy film 'Golden
Rendezvous', That's Carry On was a compilation movie inspired by MGM's
That's Entertainment series. Only with Sid James as opposed to Frank
Sinatra.
This is an enjoyable celebration of the series, but it makes you pine for
the past, as the glory days of the Carry Ons were sadly long behind them.
The previous film, Carry On England, doesn't even get a look in here,
except as a statistic. Probably because its rubbish.
Anyway, the film clips are shown in the following order: Head, Camel,
Doctor, Sergeant, Nurse, Teacher, Constable, Regardless, Cabby, Spying,
Cruising, Jack, Cleo, Cowboy, Screaming!, Camping, Again Doctor, Up the
Jungle, Loving, Henry, Matron, Abroad, Girls, Dick, Behind, At Your
Convenience, Up The Khyber.
Both Kenneth and Barbara are in fine form and its great to see them
together as they're the perfect choice as hosts. The linking material they
have together works fairly well, although its a bit of a shame that the
credits are played over Kenny's final rousing speech.
That's Carry On marked the last gasp of the series. It's quite
entertaining, but won't really stand up to repeated viewings and it's a
bit sad to see the series living on past glories.
other information
Kenneth Eastaugh's
Carry On Book
was tied in with the film, and even appeared on the quad.
This film was the direct inspiration for the numerous Carry On Clip shows
that are still shown today.
