Carry On Camping DVD

Product Description

Made in 1969 Carry On Camping belongs to the Golden Years before the loveable double-entendres had been replaced by an almost nasty sleaziness Pretty much everybody is present & correct if not politically Sid James is a likely-ish if slightly elderly lad persuading Joan Sims to join him at what he secretly expects to be a nudist colony Terry Scott is a put-upon suburban coerced into outdoor vacations by his ghastly horsey-laughed wife while Charles Hawtrey is the campest of campers who befriends them Kenneth Williams who alone makes this worth watching is gloriously ridiculous as head of a girl&s school Chayste Place with Hattie Jacques as Matron & Barbara Windsor as one of the 30-year-old fifth formers in their charge Technically it&s terrible stuff with Barbara Windsor&s flying bra laboured puns galore peeping tomfoolery punchlines visible two miles off "comedy" incidental music & a reactionary denouement in which they chase off a bunch of hippies Yet if you don&t chuckle at least half a dozen times during this however many times you&ve seen it there&s probably something wrong with you --David Stubbs
