VHS : Ghost Of St Michaels [1941]

Ghost Of St Michaels [1941]


starring: Will Hay, Claude Hulbert, Charles Hawtrey, Raymond Huntley, Felix Aylmer
directed by: Marcel Varnel
September 20, 1999


Bright and cheery wartime comedy, in which the boisterous lads of St Michaels are evacuated to a remote castle on the Isle Of Skye. Of course the place is haunted (and being Scotland, it naturally has to be a phantom piper whose appearance foretells doom to any who hear him), but it also comes complete with a Nazi spying ring. Will Hay is on top bumbling form as science teacher Mr Lamb, who gets Isaac Newton confused with William Tell, and he gets able support from a young and exuberant Charles Hawtrey, and John Laurie doing his wild-eyed mad Scotsman routine. Fast-paced, and quite atmospheric in its gothic Scottish castle setting. Nothing creaky about this comedy.

VHS : Good Morning, Boys [1937]

Good Morning, Boys [1937]


starring: Will Hay, Martita Hunt, Peter Gawthorne, Graham Moffatt, Fewlass Llewellyn
directed by: Marcel Varnel
November 03, 1997


The lads of St Michaels, a seedy public school, manage (by dubious means of course!) to win a French exam, and get a trip to Paris as a reward. There they manage to foil a gang who are intent on half-inching the Mona Lisa. An above-average script, Will Hay at his most comfortable as Dr Benjamin Twist, and Lilli Palmer as a vivacious femme fatale all make this worth seeing. A ludicrously young Charles Hawtry (looking like a pint-sized Harry Potter) steals the exam scene as the class swot from a rival school. A bit too creaky for some tastes, but well worth seeing for Hay fans.

VHS : Carry On Screaming [1966]

Carry On Screaming [1966]


starring: Harry H. Corbett, Charles Hawtrey, Kenneth Williams, Joan Sims, Fenella Fielding
directed by: Gerald Thomas
August 18, 1997


clearly meant as a spoof on the "hammer" horror films, this is one of my favourite carry ons. the fact that sid james isn't in it does not matter, as harry h. corbett makes for a wonderful replacement as a police officer investigating the disappearances of young women in a local park. corbett's performance is a joy to behold. equally good in the supporting cast, are kenneth williams as the mad scientist, jim dale as the nervous boyfriend of one of the missing women and peter butterworth as corbett's clumsy assistant.
for this particular carry on, a period setting was created and it looks extremely well done.
one hiliarious scene, is when corbett and dale are sharing a double bed when a snake worms its way through. unaware of this, ... Read More:

VHS : Carry On Camping [1968]

Carry On Camping [1968]


starring: Kenneth Williams, Sid James, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, Terry Scott
directed by: Gerald Thomas
June 16, 1997


this film isn't exactly what i would call a real classic. sure, it has all the usual actors but it doen't any humourous moments, like some of the other films in the series. The ending is just plain embarissing. it made me cringe.
watch this if you a fan.
My son adores this film, i haven't discovered why yet but i've been watching him very closely and i think that some of the scenes are a little to saturating for him to handle.

VHS : Carry On Cleo [1964]

Carry On Cleo [1964]


starring: Kenneth Williams, Sid James, Kenneth Connor, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims
directed by: Gerald Thomas
August 18, 1997


Everyone seems to rate this film highly, but it is not the best of the 'Carry On's' by far. True it probably is the most lavish, and true, it contains one of the best one liners, in the often quoted 'Infamy, Infamy,they have all got it in for me', but it truly has little else to commend it. Of the historical romps 'Carry on Henry' is funnier, but for the true classics we have to turn to 'Carry on Screaming', Carry on Camping','Carry on up the Khyber', and 'Carry on Don't Lose Your Head', all of which are vastly superior.

VHS : Carry On Cabby [1963]

Carry On Cabby [1963]


starring: Sid James, Hattie Jacques, Kenneth Connor, Charles Hawtrey, Esma Cannon
directed by: Gerald Thomas
August 18, 1997


This is my personal favourite Carry On. It was also Hattie Jacques favourite as it contains a strong touch of feminism. Whatever it's a great laugh and a clever plot full of side plots and corny love interest which holds your attention. If you've seen "She Devil" with Roseanne Barr you'll find something familar here as the plot is based on Carry on Cabby!

VHS : The Goose Steps Out [1942]

The Goose Steps Out [1942]


starring: Will Hay, Frank Pettingell, Julien Mitchell, Charles Hawtrey, Peter Ustinov
directed by: Will Hay, Basil Dearden
September 20, 1999


This is an absolute classic of wartime comedy. Will Hay, Charles Hawtery and Peter Ustinov all on great form. I would, under normal circumstances, give this film 5 out of 5 but I have just purchased a copy and found that two of the funniest scenes in the film have been cut from this print. The two scenes are the pronunciation of British towns (Slough, Cirencester etc) and the 'Invasion of Britain' scene on the train (Panzers down in the Severn Tunnel etc.). So my advice would be definitely see this film but save your money and wait for it to be shown on television.

VHS : Carry On Doctor [1967]

Carry On Doctor [1967]


starring: Frankie Howerd, Sid James, Charles Hawtrey, Kenneth Williams, Jim Dale
directed by: Gerald Thomas
September 11, 1995


The patient is Francis Bigger, played by Frankie Howerd, and the line is a sly reference to the funniest scene in Carry On Nurse. It's probably the cleverest line in Carry On Doctor. Like Carry On Nurse, Carry On Doctor takes place in hospital and, as the movie says, is a bedpanorama of hospital life.

The long-running Carry On movies were bawdy, low-comedy, good-natured madhouses that featured a repertory company of comics we came to recognize instantly. Here, the company is made up of Kenneth Williams, Jim Dale, Hattie Jacques, Sid James, Joan Sims, Charles Hawtrey, Barbara Windsor and Bernard Bresslaw, among others. They play the patients, the doctors and the nurses at Finisham Hospital. If you relish jokes about bedpans and hernias, where any possible activity ... Read More:
