They're all very silly but this is one is among the best of the lot, Fun story and the humour isn't just sex jokes all the time.

All of the Carry On films get 4 or 5 stars from me. They have been a much-loved part of my life ever since I can remember.

They had really started to go downhill by the time this little gem came out and it went a long way in returning the carry on series to the highs it once held in British film history...Still bloody silly but I do love them all.

One of the more funny Carry on films.
