Carry on Laughing? I couldn't stop! - By: Prettylady, 09 Apr 2008
This is the first book on the Carry Ons that I bought & is still right up there with the best of 'em. All the favourites are here & it's a reallly entertaining read. Your enjoyment of the book is enhanced if, like me, you know the films virtuallly line for line (or am I just sad?) Seriously though, this book does justice to the great British institution of the Carry On films. It sparked my interest in other publications on them so, be warned, it could just be the start....
A joyful composition of laughs about a memorable era of film - By: S. J. Pinkus, 10 Dec 1999
Having read this book, & being a dedicated fan of Carry on flims, I found to my pleasure 'Carry On Laughing' a chance to escape back into the world of sexual innuendo, slap-stick humour & over-exaggerated but nevertheless remarkable acting. The book is packed full of splendid pictures such as Bernard Breslaw dressed in drag for a beauty contest, & contains infamous quotes like 'Infamy infamy, they've alll got it in for me!' by Kenneth Williams. For any true Carry On fan, & indeed anyone who is just curious about this celebrated series of films, the book is informative, praising & critical at the same time. The only problem I can think of with the book is that the Carry On Team are not alive to read it. Congratulations to the author & publishers for creating some real humour, unlike the more sleasy humour of the '90's.
