Ist ja irre - Der Schiffskoch ist seekrank
Das Los von Kapitän Crowther ist kein glückliches. Fünf seiner Besatzungsmitglieder müssen ersetzt werden, und so kurz vor Beginn der Reise gibt es nicht viel Auswahl.Das Los von Kapitän Crowther ist kein glückliches.

The best bits by a long way include Connor's clumsy courtship of Liz Fraser; alongside Williams' stilted and self-righteous officer, all nostrils and hardly-hidden indignation. Very funny, as most of the 'Carry Ons' were.
The replacement crew do their best to please their temporary captain, but all efforts only serve to frustrate him. When they find out this cruise is to be his last on the ship they set about organising a surprise party to make amends.
The first colour Carry On is slightly smuttier than the earlier films, an indication of things to come, and boasts a large and realistic ocean liner set. Due to obvious budgetary limitations the action doesn't leave the ship, so brief stock footage is used to establish foreign locales when the ship drops anchor.
Sid James is rather underused in his mainly straight (and non-lecherous) role as ship's captain, his trademark cackle only appearing once or twice. Kenneth Williams doesn't get to do much more, as here the talented Kenneth Connor takes centre stage. He shyly pursues Dilys Lane's husband hunting young woman, who stalks both the gym tutor and the captain before realizing the doctor's intentions. Lance Percival (a face created for comedy) amuses as the ship's chef, and Esma Cannon provides a few laughs as a dizzy pensioner.
Those who prefer the earlier Carry Ons may find this one falling between two stools, as the transition to the series' middle period is much in evidence here. As always though, it provides enough real laughs and remains as watchable and good-natured as any in the series. A good example of vintage British humour for those interested.
It's slightly cheekier in several ways, we're not talking Carry on Behind, but it does have its moments, that naught, picture postcard brand of humour is just about starting.
It worries me that repeats have dried up, as has comedy, some of the reviews.....you'd wonder if people have any sort of sense of humour.
For me the addictive element is the diminutive Australian actress Esma Cannon, who is hilarious, a total joy from start to finish, the drunken scene between her and Dilys Laye is side splitting. The usuals are on great form, Sid and Kenny contrast well, it is missing Joan, Charles and Hattie, but there are enough lovely performances to make it enjoyable, Liz Fraser and Dilys Laye in particular are utterly lovely.
A nice film for all the family to sit down and enjoy.
7/10.

- WissenswertesFirst film in the "Carry on..." series to be filmed in color.
- PatzerThe cruise ship docks at several ports, from Spain to Italy and North Africa. However it always moors against the same quayside with the same tree standing on it.

Captain Wellington Crowther: I'm going to be blunt, and make some very cutting remarks.
First Officer Leonard Marjoribanks: To be sure, sir, that's a contradiction in terms, but then English is a very curious language!
Captain Wellington Crowther: If you interrupt me once more, Mr... .?
First Officer Leonard Marjoribanks: Marjoribanks, sir.
Captain Wellington Crowther: You interrupt me once more, mate, and you'll hear some really curious language!
- Alternative VersionenAs with many Carry On films the cinema print was cut by the BBFC with the removal of the word "twot" and the dialogue lines "The sun shines out of our portholes", "Cold water and plenty of it" and "Out of where?" (following "Take you fingers out"). Later video/DVD releases feature the same print and the original cuts may no longer survive.
