It has taken me many years to painfully sit through this film. Previously I ejected the DVD after 5 minutes.
The film is ideologically part of the original run of Carry On 'comedy' films but the other reviews on here touch on it's many omissions and failures (not contraceptive).
Many of the original 'regulars' that had become staples of the successful franchise are missing for various reasons that are well documented. A shame because I could imagine some scenes where they would have improved the film.
The film, although still relatively low budget does seem to have moved on from the innocent entendres of earlier films. Obviously trying to unsuccessfully compete with other 1970s UK comedy films of a more adult nature such as the Confessions films.
The scenes with the few regulars left are quite good and sad at the same time. Although the sight of a body building Kenneth Williams nearly made me choke my tea.
There are 'modern' scenes flagshipping British Airways Concorde aircraft spoilt by silly cartoon like scenes of its nose becoming erect. A sad way to end the franchise until 1992.
It got me thinking if stars such as George Cole, Dennis Waterman and Ronnie Barker could have rekindled the franchise into the 1980s? We will never know.... The producers could have inserted a Sid James (died in 1976) laugh into the credits for nostalgia?
