bkoganbing Borrowing more from the classic George Arliss film Doctor Syn than from the legendary British outlaw Dick Turpin, Carry On Dick has Sid James as Turpin who disguises his himself as the outwardly pious, but randy parson in the English countryside. His exploits in his trade and conquests of womanhood have made him a legend and the government of George III was to put a stop to him.So who else would you send than Kenneth Williams together with his trusty aide Jack Douglas out to catch him. But James is a wily old fox of an outlaw and who could conceive of the local man of God being the head of outlaws. Naturally Williams looks for local allies and who better than the local parson James to help in his quest for the notorious outlaw.As we well know the 16th and 17th centuries in Great Britain were one bawdy age the Carry On troupe is certainly bawdy enough to match it. Joan Sims is a riot as the head of a group of struggling French actresses stranded in that part of the world. Great Britain and France were not getting along particularly well at the time, but Sims and her girls speak a universal language to those who listen.This was Sid James's farewell big screen appearance, the cap of a grand career that started in British music hall. The Carry On films tried to Carry On after he died, but it was definitely no go, they certainly didn't Carry on.James is the center of this film as well it should be.

Tweekums As time progressed the Carry On films tended to get more and more puerile with vulgarity replacing wit; this one, as its title suggests, contains more than its fair share of 'dick jokes' thankfully another generalisation about the Carry on films is that the historical ones tended to be funnier than the contemporary outings. Set in the 1750s this one tells the story of Captain Desmond Fancey's attempts to apprehend the notorious highwayman Dick Turpin. Turpin's crimes all take place near the villages of Upper and Lower Dentures so he heads there with his sergeant. Not knowing what Turpin looks like they wish to remain incognito and inform nobody but the local rector or their true identity… of course the rector is none other then Dick Turpin! In the course of their investigations they learn that Turpin has an unusual birthmark but its location, which isn't hard to guess, means the sergeant ends up following anybody heading to the pub's gents for a quick examination! Turpin is keen to be rid of the two London policemen so manages to trick them into getting arrested for his crimes by the local constable… unfortunately he writes to London to inform them of 'Turpin's' arrest so the real Turpin must come up with another plan.I was quite surprised at some of the film's content as I didn't expect to hear so many dick jokes or to see Barbara Windsor in a see through top on Sunday afternoon television! While there were a few too many such jokes some earned a snigger and there were quite a few more wholesome laughs. It also helped that there was a decent story and the fact that nearly all the Carry On team were present and on top form. Sid James was great as Turpin/Reverend Flasher as was Kenneth Williams as Capt. Fancey. Other regulars present included the aforementioned Barbara Windsor, Hattie Jacques, Joan Sim and Kenneth Connor although the last of these had certainly slipped in the rankings; being reduced to the small role of the local constable rather than being one of the top names he was in the earlier films. The only character I wasn't amused by was Jack Douglas's Sgt. Jock Strapp although I'm not sure if that is down to the acting or just the character. If you are a fan of the Carry On series this is worth watching just don't expect the innocence of the earlier outings.

TheLittleSongbird I love the Carry On movies, and while I as I've said I do agree this is not one of their best, it is the last entertaining Carry On film. The story is thin and there are a lot of innuendos and some of them are very smutty. But with the costumes and sets and such as good as they are, the film looks really good, and the music is quirky and energetic. The script is funny and well delivered on the whole, while the film is well paced. Carry on Dick is probably chiefly memorable for being Sidney James's last Carry On. He is very good as Turpin/Reverend Flasher, if occasionally overdoing it with his trademark laugh. He is well supported by Kenneth Williams and Hattie Jaques, but Barbara Windsor gives one of her best performances and even Jack Douglas is good. In conclusion, entertaining I think, and on a side note it wasn't the same when Talbot Rothwell left and James died, the writing became crass and most of the entries then were woeful I felt. 7/10 for Carry on Dick.

m_pratt This carry on is a great carry on!. The actors are great. Most of the gang are here except Charles Hawtrey who got the boot after Abroad. Patsy Rowland's is underused which is a great shame as is Bill Maynard they have both got good talent. Sid Jame's is just as good as ever in his final carry on. Barbara Windsor is great as Harriet, as is Hatttie Jacques.Jack Douglas and Kenneth William's are great this film is the last true carry on film behind wasn't the same. This was good clean fun the last 3 England Behind and Emmanuelle resort to nudity to get laughs this had the talent the actors and the script its go the lot. This one and Cleo are the best Historical ones!. After this they where never the same!..
