Secrets & Scandals of Carry On

This definitely made me want to watch just about all the films. Film film franchises are basically TV shows in extra long format. And this is a really cool TV show, with a different story every time!

The carry-on films make me think of the Bob Hope/Bing Crosby road films.

Sad What happened to the cast. John Sims seems like a really sweet person especially. Add this to the list of all the Joan I like! I think I'll start with her film "Carry on, Teacher!" (1959), made just a year or less after my girl Joan Jett was born!

It's nice to know that there's always something new to learn about Cinema, and for every Cinema aficionado, carry on films will be something worth checking out, being that they are some of the most profitable in British film history! And for fans of pre-modern comedy in general, you will get a kick out of how Free and easy these films feel compared to the uptight mores of today. Ironically, the films had to do a lot to get around the sensors, but although our censorship system is more inclusive in theory, it is actually more rigid now in practice, when you think about how much of this type of comedy would not be made today for much the same reasons.

Cheer up, let yourself feel carefree, and go watch a carry-on film!
