Major
S Melly takes over as the commanding officer at an experimental
mixed sex air defence base. It's 1940 and England is under
heavy bombardment but the crew seems more interested in each
other than shooting down enemy planes...
This
1976 Carry On outing is almost as bad as the series
got. There is so little plot and so few laughs that it hardly
qualifies as a comedy film at all unless you find people dropping
their trousers funny.
Kenneth
Connor as Melly is dreadful, Joan Sims as private Ffoukes
Sharpe is less entertaining than her character's name suggests
and the inclusion of the dreadful Patrick Mower only helps
drag proceedings down even further.
Carry
on England is an unsightly blot on the Carry On
copybook. The series' original use of pun and harmless seaside
postcard smut is replaced by gratuitous sexism and crass innuendo
which makes for a very nasty film indeed. And worse still,
it's simply not funny.
Extras
include audio commentary with Patrick Mower; Photo gallery
with captions; Theatrical trailer; Carry On Laughing: Lamp
Posts Of The Empire; and film trivia notes.
