You meet the strangest people camping
27 October 2018
The Carry On ensemble in something of a homage to Howard Hawks's Man's Favorite Sport tackle the subject of the great outdoors and man wanting to commune with nature.

It all begins with Sid James and Bernard Bresslaw see a nudist camp in a newsreel and make up their minds to go camping somewhere in that vicinity. The wives Sylvia Sims and Dilys Laye have something to say about it. In any event James and Bresslaw wind up nowhere near the nudists and with the wives and a whole lot of other strange folks who like camping.

Prissy schoolmaster Kenneth Williams is taking the girls in his charge camping and along with them is their matron Hattie Jacques. She's one formidable woman, but when she starts developing amorous feelings for Williams that's also a good laugh. The young girls themselves are merciless with their pranks.

Last but not least is everybody's favorite interloper Charles Hawtrey who somehow interjects himself between marrieds Terry Scott and Betty Marsden. Hawtrey buying sporting goods is good for chuckles and Scott asserting himself and dealing with Hawtrey is more than chuckles.

This is a good entry in the Carry On series.
