StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 31 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a bad trip out for The Carry On Team but nothing their best movie again Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member poor due to man cast. Cribbins isn't a lead actor and Juliet Mills struggles Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review bill t Weakest one so far. The gang, or whoever bothered to show up, are longship crew. Mutiny and other hijiinx ensue...or is attempted. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A real jolly romp upon the high seas. Certainly worth a watch. Bernard Cribbins was great in his first Carry On. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member The 8th Carry On film, and this one was a little different, as only three of the Carry On regulars appear, with one or two making their Carry On debuts. But despite this, it's a very funny film, and it was round about now that the Carry On films were taking shape, and starting to settle into it's smutty ways. There was no going back to it's more innocent beginnings after this one, plus it was quite lavish for a Carry On. Set during the golden age of the Royal Navy in the Early 19th Century, newly commissioned Midshipman Albert Poop-Decker (Bernard Cribbins) is to join the crew of the frigate Venus at Plymouth, however while at Dirty Dick's Tavern, he's knocked out by maid Sally (Juliet Mills), who steals his uniform and goes on the Venus hoping to find her boyfriend. Poop-Decker is taken aboard by a press gang, and he's put under Mr Angel (Percy Herbert) and First Officer Jonathan Howett (Donald Houston), who are sick of the way cowardly Captain Fearless (Kenneth Williams) runs the ship, so they plan to get rid of him. This was the first of Carry On's historical films, like Cleo, Up The Khyber and Henry), they got off to a good start with this one. Cribbins should have done more, as he was a perfect fit for these films, while Williams is his usual self, and it makes fun of old nautical traditions.
