Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Leofwine_draca CARRY ON AT YOUR CONVENIENCE is a perfectly serviceable (pun intended) entry in the long-running franchise and one that marks a distinct improvement over its sordid predecessor, CARRY ON HENRY. This one sees the welcome return of contemporary locations in the antics set within a toilet factory plagued by love, lust, and striking workers.In some ways, CARRY ON AT YOUR CONVENIENCE is a breath of fresh air for those involved. Sid James doesn't play a lech for once, and has some great old-fashioned humour in the scenes where his pet budgerigar predicts the outcome of certain horse races for him. More importantly, Kenneth Williams isn't the antagonist after what seemed like an age of him working against the rest of the cast members. He's just an ordinary guy whose relationship with Patsy Rowlands is repeated from CARRY ON LOVING.This film was a well publicised flop, and many reviewers have argued that it was due to the storyline's anti-union stance. It's a shame when an audience can't take a joke aimed at themselves (the Carry Ons were popular with the working class, many of whom were union members themselves) because the storyline is as good as ever. There are nice roles for a deeply flamboyant Charles Hawtrey and a permanently befuddled Bernard Bresslaw, although I would have preferred to see series regulars Peter Butterworth or Kenneth Connor instead of the weak likes of Kenneth Cope and Richard O'Callaghan we get here. Still, there are memorable turns for the female talent: Jacki Piper, Joan Sims, Hattie Jacques, and Margaret Nolan. The climactic trip to Brighton is the real highlight here and a neat precursor to the delights of CARRY ON ABROAD.
bkoganbing The Carry On troupe in Carry On At Your Convenience take on management/labor relations in a toilet factory. Kenneth Williams is the owner of a plant that manufactures bathroom accessories, toilets, sinks, bathtubs. His designer of these products is Charles Hawtrey and the plant foreman is Sid James. Given the subject matter there are more chances for scatological one liners than is normal even for a Carry On movie. This is after all a necessary industry. Can you imagine our lives without these devices?Williams gets an order from a rich Arab sheik who wants 1000 special toilets for his thousand wife harem and he wants it with cold and hot running water. Hawtrey designs one and production goes in immediately.That brings management into conflict with organized labor and the head of toilet workers union played by the officious and mother dominated Kenneth Cope. He's the kind of guy who gets off asserting any kind of authority he has. As shop steward he's forever calling for walkouts and strikes on the least little provocation. Funniest moment for me was when the workers go on holiday leave in Brighton and the hotel can't serve them because they're kitchen workers are on strike. What a moment that is for Cope to see what it's like with the shoe on the other foot. Sid James makes the most of it.In fact at the very end of the film Cope is shown to have learned his lesson thoroughly.Labor and management really do come together in the end. A really funny entry from the Carry On series.
w22nuschler This is one of the Carry On's that is perfect. Cowboy and Jungle are the only ones that can beat this one. I cannot believe how this only rates a 4.5 on the IMDb rating. Every one in this cast is perfect. Sid James and Kenneth Williams plays the head of a toilet company. Richard Callaghan plays Kenneth son who is the manager of the plant. He is very good here. He is again chasing the perfect Jacki Piper who plays the daughter of Sid. She also works at the plant and serves the food. Joan Sims plays one of the workers. The two lead workers are played by Bernard Bresselaw and Kenneth Cope. Kenneth almost steals the show as a worker who is always trying to get everything for the workers, even when they don't really care about it. It is refreshing to see a movie that exposes the down side of a union. Everything made no days just bashes corporations and does not give the other side of things. I am a worker at a large company and I think I am treated fair and have good benefits. Kenneth forces the workers to go on strike with him and all go home for the day. Sid is married to Hattie, but he like Joan. Kenneth goes home to his mother who is upset that he went on strike. He leaves and follow Jacki and Richard who go on a date. He ends up ripping off the bottom of her dress as she walks off in anger. Jacki has a cute little butt. The workers strike again and all of them go to Brighton for a fun day. This is my favorite part of the film. Jacki Piper looks so sexy wearing a red striped top, a cute red hat and the shortest jean shorts I have ever seen. She hangs out with Vic to make Richard Jealous. They make their way to the pier to have some fun. Sid James also looks very cool in his outfit. Richard finally corners Jacki and asks her to marry him. She accepts and he beats up Vic. The scene where Jacki runs off with Richard is worth rewinding just to see her cute little butt in those short shorts. The next day we see them in the hotel married and we get some glimpses of Jacki taking off her outfit. She looks so hot in her little bra and panties. Back at the plant, Vic's mother and the other women force them to go back to work. Vic meets a girl who is going to start working with him and he decides to stay working. Richard and Jacki return to the plant to stop Kenneth from selling the plant. The final scene has Vic deciding to cope with a problem instead of striking. I really like this film. It has such a nice flow to it and the highlight is the scenes at the pier and the outfit Jacki Piper wears. A definite 10 out of 10.
pbbuffyhugs I love all the carry on films except maybe the last few (England was dire) but this along with 'Screaming' is my favourite. I could and have watched it dozens of times and it still makes me laugh. All the cast are clearly having a laugh and it's nice to see Kenneth Cope not playing Marty Hopkirk (Randall And Hopkirk Deceased - my all time favourite TV show). Sid James is ,well, Sid James but what's wrong with that?, Bernard Bresslaw hilarious and Jacki Piper... well.. forget Barbara Windsor, she was never a looker, Jacki Piper and Angela Douglas (not in this one) were always better looking. The whole concept of making a film in a toilet factory is inspired, has there been another??? The situations at the factory, at Brighton and especially at Sids house with the budgie (ta daddy!, ta daddy!, TA!!!)are all laugh out loud funny. No matter what mood you're in, bung this on and have a bloody good laugh. Brilliant film.
