Carry On - The Ultimate Collection [DVD]

Product Information

And the Carry On films aren't much different in that the humor isn't just "dry", but is essentially non-existent save for a gag or two per film. Otherwise what you have are actors acting light-heartedly silly hoping that the light mood they instill in the footage will help sell the film's script and story to the audience. Whatever. A 50-minute television documentary, What's a Carry On?, was made in 1998 for the 40th anniversary of the first film. It included archive clips, out-takes and interviews with surviving cast members. It was included as an extra on the DVD release of Carry On Emmannuelle. Carry On Camping scored a number one at the box office for 1969 [66] and became infamous for the sequence in which Barbara Windsor's bra flew off during early morning exercises. So risqué was this scene, that Ireland banned the film on its domestic release. [67] Camping was filmed between October and November 1968 and held its premiere on 3 July 1969. [67] Sid James, Terry Scott, Charles Hawtrey, Kenneth Connor, Bernard Bresslaw, Bob Todd, Wendy Richard and Barbara Windsor [118] For six years Sergeant Grimshawe has been a training sergeant but never the proud leader of a Star Squad. He accepts a bet from another sergeant that in the next intake, his last before retirement, his squad will pass out top. But when he’s lumbered with a motley crew of inductees, Grimshawe suspects he hasn’t a chance of winning the bet. Carry On Nurse (1959)

Carry On Spaceman (1961), scripted by Norman Hudis and planned to be released shortly after Carry On Regardless. Satirising the Space Race, the cast was to consist of three would-be astronauts who constantly bungled on their training and their mission into outer space; most likely the trio would have been played by the trio of Kenneth Williams, Kenneth Connor, and Leslie Phillips that had been established in Carry On Constable. Attempts to revive Carry On Spaceman in 1962 under Denis Gifford, again by Hudis, failed, and the project was subsequently abandoned. Hunter, I. Q.; Porter, Laraine (2012). British Comedy Cinema. London: Routledge. ISBN 978-0-415-66667-1. Clips from several Carry On films are used in In The Movies It Doesn't Hurt (1975), a short film on laboratory safety for schools starring Bernard Bresslaw.

Filmed on location in Snowdonia, North Wales, Carry On...Up the Khyber was the only film of the series to venture out of England for filming. [63] Up the Khyber was voted 99th in the British Film Institute's poll of the finest 100 films ever made. [64] Despite the tight, two-month filming schedule, it took three days to complete the final dinner scene. [16] Filming began in March and finished in May 1968 and the film was released in August 1968. [63]

Carry On Teacher starred the popular radio comedian Ted Ray, who was cast because of his success on radio during World War II and later. Ray, who at that time was under contract to ABC Films, proved to be popular with audiences of the film on its general release and, as a result, Peter Rogers planned to cast him in future films. However, ABC producers were enraged at Ray's success for a rival producer and demanded he stop appearing in the Carry On films. Rogers was threatened with legal action and was forced to find another lead actor. [21] Carry On at Your Convenience was known as Carry On Round the Bend outside the United Kingdom and was the first box-office loss of the series. The failure was attributed to the film's political theme about the trade union movement as it portrayed the union activists as incompetent troublemakers. A profit on the film was not made until 1976 after several international and television sales. The film was the first of two Carry On's to star Kenneth Cope. [87]

Carry On Sergeant (1958)

Carry On Teacher (1959) In 1969, the UK television channel ITV televised a Christmas special recorded by Thames Television; entitled Carry On Christmas, it was watched by over eight million viewers. [10] Subsequent Christmas specials were recorded in 1970, 1972 and 1973. In 1975, a 13-episode television series was commissioned by ATV for ITV. Carry On Laughing ran for two seasons, with six half-hour episodes in season one and seven in season two. The writer Penelope Gilliatt wrote: "The usual charge to make against the Carry On films is to say that they could be so much better done. This is true enough. They look dreadful, they seem to be edited with a bacon slicer, the effects are perfunctory, and the comic rhythm jerks along like a cat on a cold morning. But if all these things were more elegant, I do not really think the films would be more enjoyable: the badness is part of the funniness." [11] Filmography [ edit ] Film No
