    no matter....only Crown Derby...

    I see so many reviews of people commenting about Loving being one of the Carry on movies during its declining years, I have to disagree with those, with Convenience, Girls and Behind still to come the crew were still on top form. Loving highlights a sexual revolution that had pretty much already happened years before. It's not loaded with particularly original material, but it has its moments, Sid and Hattie are great fun as warring married couple The Bliss's, Kenneth Williams is hilarious as Percival, the excellent Patsy Rowlands is finally given a large role, making full use of it. Joan Hickson is a delight as Jenny's mum, as are the whole eccentric family, but the all time highlight must be the laugh out loud finale which is side splitting, you can almost see the look of joy on everyones faces. I must admit to a feeling of sadness when I watch Imogen Hassall, such a tragic waste, a good actress, incredibly beautiful, such a shame she never went on to bigger things. Bernard Bresslaw is once again made an idiot out of, not able to show that he could act. It may not be one of the classics, but it's still a very, very funny film.

    Not the best, but it was fun enough

    I personally liked this Carry On. True the story is thin, Terry Scott is nothing special(in my opinion)-in fact I found him bland- really and the film spends too much time on Scott and the regulars feel underused in comparisons. However, it does look good, with the cinematography, locations and scenery first rate, and the music was energetic. I liked the pacing, and the innuendos and double entendres. And the cast in general are likable, Sidney James and Kenneth Williams are always good value as is Joan Sims, Charles Hawtrey and Hattie Jaques, while Joan Hickson and Imogen Hassal make delightful appearances. Overall, Carry on Loving is not brilliant, but it is definitely watchable for fans of the series. 7/10 Bethany Cox

    Fun entry

    Carry On gang run a marriage bureau. The proprietors, Sid and Sophie Bliss (Sid James and Hattie Jaques) seem set on matching the most unlikely couples. And mayhem ensues - which is expected in this low-key, yet fun Carry on entry. The crude bawdiness came 3/4 years later, and though it's more obvious in its naughty one liners, it's still in the classic mould of Carry-on. It's not the best one, but it's a good watch.

    Great to see Sid James and Hattie Jacques play off on another. The rest of the veteran cast - such as Joan Sims, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey and Bernard Bresslaw - do their parts well. The younger group are fine; Jackie Piper and Imogen Hassel bring the temperature up!! Also seeing London in 1970's and the fashion makes a great time capsule.

    Carry On No. 20

    This is a bit daft, but its not as bad as the last 2, its just a bit stilted and set in the 70's sex scene.

    Sid James is back on top billing, and its got plenty of regulars, Ken Williams, Charlie Hawtrey, Joan Sims, Hattie Jacques, Terry Scott, Peter Butterworth, Bernard Bresslaw, Julian Holloway and new girl Jacki Piper, Joan Hickson returns after a long gap, and there is anew boy Richard O'Callaghan, he only did 2 , but with a high profile. Two cameos were performed by Bill Pertwee (Dad's Army) and Bill Maynard (Heartbeat) who went on to do a few more.

    This was all a bit average and I was going to give it a 6 until the wedding party at the end which was hilarious, so it raised it one star.

    Carry on Loving

    "Sid" (Sidney James) and "Sophie" (Hattie Jacques) run the "Wedded Bliss" dating agency that supposedly uses complex computer algorithms to match couples. Their cleverly entitled "to wit to woo" brochure is supposed to help make true love blossom but it's a "Carry On" so of course you're going to get the mismatches of the century playing out for the next ninety minutes. This is one of the more memorable of the franchise for me. The comedy bond between James and Jacques was always a strong one and here there is just enough humour - as opposed to tacky innuendo - to keep the thing entertaining enough with Joan Sims and a rather unlikely Lothario in Terry Scott, adding well too. It's not one of the better roles for Kenneth Williams ("Snooper"), Charles Hawtrey's "Bedsop" was actually quite annoying and it definitely recycles a few earlier ideas just once too often, but as these films go this is a slightly better effort that maybe raises a titter rather than a laugh and passes the time in a predictably smutty fashion.

    • Trivia
      The 'computer system' used by Sid and Sophie was originally built by Century 21 for use in the TV series Alerte dans l'espace (1970).
    • Goofs
      When Terence Philpot gets out of his car to visit Jenny Grubb, he looks in the back of the Mini and sees the couple. In the background, you can see the shadow of the boom mic.

      Bertram Muffet: [indicating Sid's wife Sophie] I want a wife, like that.

      Sidney Bliss: I think we can do a bit better than that...

      Closing credits: AND SO THEY WERE MARRIED AND FOUGHT HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
    • Alternate versions
      Despite the stronger subject matter the UK cinema version suffered only mild BBFC cuts with the removal of the dialogue lines "You can't do much with your little finger" (from an exchange between Sid and Terry) and "You know, putting it in, the meat" (which lost the last two words) from Jenny's description of her job as a sausage packer to Sally. Video and DVD versions feature the same print and the cuts may no longer survive.
