Carry on Dick (1974)
4/10
Not one of the best Carry ons

This has to be one of my least favorite Carry Ons .The humor for me was lacking it really lacks the comical and charm of the previous Carry ons like Up The Khyber ,Cleo,Follow That Camel,Screaming,camping ,Cowboy etc these were all tongue in cheek comedies and were fairly innocent and they had memorable scripts and lines{ like I seem to have got a little plastered}from Khyber,and (Frying to night) Screaming. Carry on Dick to me goes all out for vulgarity and with the addition of some then known Page 3 girls it seems the writers couldnt come up with any original jokes so instead they chose to make this one into more of a sex comedy.It is however better than the last two Carry on England and Carry on Emanuel ,i didnt mind Carry on Behind as i found Elkie Sommer very good in that one which kind of saved it. But in this one i found Barbara Windsors crude laugh really over the top and irritating ,Hattie Jacques gives the impression on her face most of the time thats shes embarrassed to be in this film.Maby she was. And for me the most cringy part of the film is the scene where Joan Sims loses her bloomer support because Sid James has pulled her necklace off,so you then see her crouched in a toilet position ,This i found to be just awful and a cheap way of trying to raise some laughs.I suppose you could call it toilet humor The rest of the humor is pretty much the same all through the film. So if your like me and love the previous witty Carry ons then give this one a miss.
