Majorthebys Charming and brutal
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
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.
crossbow0106 Set in a toilet making factory, hence the title, this is a fun romp. Given the setting, you just know there will be in jokes, double entendres and the like. Sid James, Kenneth Williams and Charles Hawtry, amongst others, are at their madcap best here. The story never flags, even though the cast is pretty large. You even have richness from the peripheral characters here, they add to the fun. One of the film's main assets is the fresh faced beauty Jacki Piper, who plays Myrtle Plummer (I know, the last name is obvious, but that's okay). Of the Carry On films I've watched (about 8), this is my favorite thus far. It holds your interest and you can't help but laugh. It is definitely worth your time, in a time honored British comedy vein.
MARIO GAUCI Considered by many the best ever "Carry On" film, I think I still prefer CARRY ON...UP THE KHYBER (1968) to it, but it's certainly one of the more tolerable entries in the series. Essentially an update of I'M ALL RIGHT, JACK! (1959) in its concern over working conditions in a factory and the frequent strikes ordered by the union's representative (usually over a trifle, or even a technicality in the regulations!), the fact that the manufacture involved is toiletware, the lavatorial humor associated with this team is quite appropriate here - though it never descends to the grossness which seems to be the norm for today's would-be comedies.Most of the regulars of the series can be seen strutting their stuff (though perhaps the most notable contribution is given by newcomer Kenneth Cope as the shop steward) and there's no shortage of lewd remarks but, as I said, it's all done in fun (while these films may have been restricted to adult audiences back in the day, they're quite PG stuff today!). There's still a bit of padding involved - such as Sid James' winnings at the races (following the predictions of his wife's pet bird!), the love triangle involving Cope, Jacki Piper (as James' daughter) and Richard O'Callaghan (as the son of factory boss Kenneth Williams) and especially the lengthy outing in Brighton; all things considered, however, an enjoyable vintage comedy which is ideal viewing for the festive season.
m_pratt Carry on at your convenience is about a factory somewhere in London W C Bloggs they are making toilets and they keep having strikes the workers cannot keep their hands off each other and all mayhem breaks out. They go on the annual works outing to Brighton and have a whale of a time. Sidney Plummer ( Sid James) is also betting on horses much to the annoyance of his wife Beatie Plumer ( Hattie Jacques) who seems to sit at home all day in a house badly in need of cleaning up a kitchen with plates up to the rafters and dirty washing. They have a pet budgie called Joe who never says anything and then Suddenley picks winners out of the newspapers for horses that are going to race and Sid quickly makes it rich. Meanwhile Bernie and Kenneth cope are chasing Myrtle Plumber (Jackie Piper) who is going off with Lewis Bloggs( Richard o Callaghan). Sid is after Joan who lives at home with husband Fred ( Bill Maynard.In the end everything turns out fine the gang have a whale of a time in Brighton and enjoy every minute of it of it. Overall this a great if not the best carry on film ever made Bill Maynard has little screen time but he makes up for it in carry on Matron. Sid is just as great as ever. 10/10. This is what the series where all about fun and lots of it!!!.
