VERDICT
Quite a funny and 50/50 Carry On for most fans. The whole film is generally very good with some very great moments, and is a fair Carry On, however the ending is a bit lost. The great pie fight is a simple but useless ending for such a good Carry on. As for the performances, they are great with perhaps the best going to Sid and Terry.
A great carry On but alot of loopholes which does spoil it in places.
