Review of Carry On Abroad (Special Edition) (Wide Screen) by IanPhillips

Advantages: Is one of the best Carry On's
Disadvantages: None as such

Carry On Abroad truly encapsulates the feel-good spirit that made the films such an enduring success. Nearly all of the teams favourite regulars are here as well as some extra additions to the cast line-up. The usual batch of players that are present and clearly on good form are Sid James, Joan Sims, Kenneth Williams, Peter Butterworth, Charles Hawtrey, Babara Windsor, Hattie Jaques, Kenneth Connor and Bernard Bresslaw and are joined by Scottish ...
...the best endings in a Carry On film, firmly holding onto that fine, feel-good spirit which would slowly dissolve from here on. The cast are all on usual form, though Peter Butterworth and Hattie Jaques are perharps the best players here. They make an almost Laurel and Hardy kind of duo and Jaques in particular is an unusual role, playing a Spanish, downtrodden and seemingly demented cook. The rest of the cast certainly get their moments including ... Read review

The Carry On team again manage to find themselves in another farcical situation. This time, Sid James, Bernard Bresslaw and Barbara Windsor and the gang go on holiday to Spain only to find their hotel unfinished and practically unstaffed. It's particularly memorable for the several instances that Sid James 'accidently' walks in on an almost naked Barbara Windsor in the shower!
