It's a rote but well executed British comedy of the early 1960s, with lots of leering and little to be observed, although the presence of some old comedy hands offers a pleasantly nostalgic air for older folk going to the cinema: Naunton Wayne (in his penultimate film appearance), Irene Handl, Noel Purcell, Bill Shine and Miles Malleson all have cameos. If it lacks the raucous humor of the CARRY ON series, it's still pleasant family-friendly fare.
Films like DOUBLE BUNK seem to get by on their effortless charm and genuine humour. Certainly there are a few saucy moments here, but the film for the most part belongs to an earlier, cleaner time in which the laughs feel unforced and entirely natural. And when your film is chock full of seasoned comic performers as it is here, it's hard to go wrong.
Inevitably for a film with Sid James in a leading role, he ends up stealing all of the best bits. You can rely on Sid, and he doesn't disappoint. Scott is saddled with a fairly dull 'straight' role although she does have a few good moments - and check out those shorts! - but the best female performance comes from Liz Fraser, playing your usual sex siren. Here, she's a striptease artist, and as well as being breathtakingly gorgeous she's very funny too.
The supporting cast is exemplary. Dennis Price essays the caddish role with ease, while Naunton Wayne's cameo was to be his last performance. Watch out for Miles Malleson as a fishing vicar, and another nice cameo from Irene Handl, who seems to spend all of her screen time in the kitchen! There's plenty of slapstick humour here, and it all holds together very nicely. I think that as a film, DOUBLE BUNK certainly holds its own against the CARRY ONs of the era.

- TriviaJanette Scott arrived at the location on Taggs Island in a brand-new sports car, a 21st-birthday present from her husband Jackie Rae. Rehearsals started with Ian Carmichael driving a Bentley with faulty brakes, which he only found out were faulty when he went into Janette's car, causing a large dent.

[Peggy has arranged a delivery of plants and bushes to brighten up the boat. She gives the delivery man two coins as a tip, and he looks disdainfully at her lack of generosity]
Peggy: [referring to the flower display] You don't think I've overdone it, do you?
Flowerman: [referring to the tip] No, ma'am, I'd say you've judged it to a nicety: *you* won't miss it and *we* won't feel the impact of sudden wealth.
