Carrying on

This lively and entertaining book presents detailed histories of the thirty-one 'Carry On' films, revealing a cinematic legacy that is often more clever and complex than expected - from the post-war optimism of 'Carry On Sergeant' and 'Carry On Nurse', via mini-epics such as 'Carry On Cleo', all the way to the smut-tinged 1970s. It also turns the spotlight onto the host of other productions the Rogers and Thomas partnership brought to the screen along with detailed biographies of legendary 'Carry On' stars, such as Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, and Barbara Windsor, who have brought fun and laughter to millions for decades.
