5.0 out of 5 stars Spoof of the Bond films with the Carry On team!, July 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Carry on Spying [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The 'Carry Ons' are finally accepted by the critics with this, the 9th entry in the highly successful British comedy film series. A spoof of the James Bond films, this film provides laughs all the way. Cleverly directed and shot in evocative black and white, there are also wonderful comic turns from regulars Charles Hawtrey and most enjoyably, Kenneth Williams as 003 and a half! All the bawdy humour is there and this film is one of the best of it's kind.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Funniest 'Carry On'!, April 22, 2000

This review is from: Carry on Spying [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have seen 30 of the 31 'Carry On' films, and this one is the best. It was the 9th one in the series and was the first one to star Barbara Windsor as Daphne Hunnybutt. When asked for her number she replies, '38-22-35', which happen to be her 'vital thingammyjigs'. Charles Hawtrey plays Charlie bind, agent 0.0.0 ('when they looked at me they said, Oo-oo, Oooh!') along with other characters. The team are on a mission- to Vienna to fight against the STENCH men. It is so funny and the terrible puns, 'oh well, hair today and gone tommorrow', double inuendos, 'I'm sure I'll never get my draws off as slickly as that' and sight gags, such as when they enter a restaurant and Kenneth Williams terrible costume of a beard and hat is removed by a waitress, revealing the man himself. It really is a very funny play on the spying theme with an excellant cast and wonderful story, not to be missed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Enter Barbara Windsor, May 10, 2006

This review is from: Carry on Spying (DVD)

Carry On Spying marked the debut appearance in a Carry On Film of the bubbly Barbara Windsor who would become a sex symbol in the series. This amusing paraody of the James Bond films is another classic in the series. Desmond Simpkins (Kenneth Williams) along with his three extra-special agents by his side (Barbara Windsor, Bernard Cribbins, Charles Hawtrey) all plot to take on the malevolent powers of STENCH, namely Dr. Crow, Milchmann and The Fat Man, members of the Society for the Extinction of non-conforming Humans. Clues to the exact location of STENCH HQ lead the quartret of spies into the heart of Harry Lime country in Vienna, the Casbah and finally the corridors of the Orient Express.
Fun and adventures all the way with the gangs reaching new heights of invention and parody in this one. The cast are all excellent, especially Barbara Windsor who sparkles in every scene. A comic gem!
