Review of Carry On England (1976) by Mark G — 28 Jan 2009

I haven't seen this one for many years and I must say I was rather surprised as I always thought of it as a really bad film. Having seen Carry On Emmannuelle a couple of times in the interim I'd say that this (while still one of the weakest Carry Ons) is vastly superior to that film - it just looks better and feels much more like a proper Carry On with everyone appearing enthusiastic. The script is lazy and crude but at least it approximates the Carry On spirit while Max Harris manages to emulate Eric Rogers' style of score. Kenneth Connor and Windsor Davies do their very best to milk the meagre material for all its worth and it really wasn't the completist's chore I assumed it would be.

That said, still the third poorest in the series but the last two are so very much worse.
