: : ...I'm on the edge of a Carry On rant here....
: The very early ones - yeah, OK, they were a sort of carry over of traditional British farce into the realm of moviedom - but, oh dear, the Talbot Rothwell band wagon rode into town... Obvious double entendres, tit, bum and fart jokes - yes, they have their place, but not over and over again as the same sad scenario is transferred from movie to movie.
: Yes, there was one brilliant exception - Carry On Screaming - which I still rate as quite innovative humour to this day...
Haven't been able to see any of the others yet, being American and all. But they just released the DVD box set, so who knows?
