"Pull those knickers down.".......2006-03-13

"Carry On England" is set during WWII, and the film begins when stuffy Captain S. Melly (Kenneth Connor) is assigned command of an experimental mixed-sex air defense base. When Melly arrives, he quickly discovers that the troops aren't interested in defending England from German air strikes. The base resemembles a holiday camp for honeymooners, and Melly is appalled by the complete lack of discipline. Melly's decision to get the soldiers whipped back into shape is seconded by bossy spit-and-polish Sergeant-Major 'Tiger' Bloomer (Windsor Davies). Bloomer's eagerness to impose discipline is hampered by constant amorous overtures from besotted Private Sharpe (Joan Sims).

"Carry On England" is fairly plot-less and is more-or-less an exercise in a number of silly jokes as Melly tries to impose discipline, and his troops refuse to take him seriously. One of the first scenes depicts Melly trying to get the soldiers in formation, and he quickly discovers that amongst the troops are Privates Easy, Ready, Willing, and Able. Well, you get the idea ....

It's all innocent fun with a couple of topless scenes tossed in for good measure--men stealing into the women's barracks, women digging their way into the men's barracks, the bomb shelter nicknamed the 'snoggery' etc, but the lack of plot combined with the silliness make "Carry On England" one of the least successful films in the Carry On series. Die-hard Carry On fans (like me) will be curious to see it, but it's really a sad entry in the series. Carry On films were made over a period of several decades and included a more-or-less stable team of stars who represented the best comedy talent in the business. "Carry On England" stars very few regular team members, and it is one of the last films in the series. While the DVD transfer is good, the sound quality is poor--displacedhuman

Worst of the 25 in the series.......2005-07-29

This is the worst of the 25 movies in the Carry On series. It is worst by a wide margin. They repeat a limited number of Three Stooges type gags to fill out the 90 minutes. If you are not a veteran, you will not appreciate most of the limited humor. It does not even have the sexual content of most Carry on movies. The overweight and shapeless women are very bland and wear shapeless uniforms.

There is a serious technical flaw. The audio is recorded at a very low level. You will have to turn your television volume to full on to get even a low sound level out of the speakers.
