Carry On Camping (DVD)

CARRY ON BACKGROUND ********************************* I have already included much of this background in another review but it is in this one for those that have not read the other review. Hm that's as clear as mud but I guess you get what I mean.The Carry On Films started in 1958 with Carry On Sergeant, which was made in Black and White and set in the post war years, when conscription was still around. From then, until 1978, twenty nine Carry On films were made in total. They were all comedies, made on a shoestring budget, and were produced by Peter Rogers and directed by Gerald Thomas. There were several mainstays of the Carry On cast and ...  Read the complete review

or: "Let Sleeping Bags Lie". Just when everything was going so well, I go and watch "Carry On Again Doctor" and "Carry On Camping" in the wrong order - oh the misery! "Carry On Camping" is the *seventeenth* Carry On misadventure in the long-running series directed by Gerald Thomas and produced by Peter Rogers, and it's here where everything starts to get a bit rude. "I met this chap who'd just come back from Scotland and his wife was ravished by a wild haggis, and now they're expecting a little faggot!" Trying to get their new girlfriends 'in the mood', Sid Boggle (Sid James) ...  Read the complete review

Filmed in 1969, Carry On Camping is probably the best known of all this series of sniggery seaside postcard humour British films, if only for the scene where Babs Windsor bursts out of her bikini top during an early morning PT session As a Carry On addict and bit of a purist, this is not among my favourites, but it is better by a long chalk, than some of the later ones; most notably the execrable Carry On Emmanuelle which should never have been allowed to be filmed, never mind to see the light of day on our screens. Written by Talbot Rothwell, the gags are less subtle in Camping than in the earlier movies, but not quite as overtly and disappointingly tacky as ...  Read the complete review

This review is for the DVD release of "Carry on Camping". The film is one of the famous Carry On series of films released from the 1950s to the 1970s, and this one was released in 1969. The film is one of the best known in the series, primarily for one of the scenes featuring Barbara Windsor and her exercising! The film is based around a campsite, and the story is based around the various mixture of family and friends who visited that site. These include Sid and Bernie (played by Sid James and Bernard Bresslaw respectively) who take their girlfriends to the camp site, although they were under the incorrect impression that it was ...  Read the complete review

This 1970 release was made during the hey day of the Carry On franchise and as such it is one of the better films that were shot in colour . The cast is one of the most recognisable as all of the main charaters make an appearance in this film. It centres around a rather poor campsite that attracts an odd ball crowd, leading the way is Sid James who mistakenly believes it is actually a nudist colony he has seen at the cinema and tries, along wih his mate Bernie Lugg (Bernard Bresslaw) to get their girlfriends there under false pretences.
