Ben T Carry on regulars Sid James and Kenneth Connor star in an old dark house comedy in the hope of inheriting a fortune. The script works well and goes for cheap laughs and gags. Michael Gough also stars as does Donald Pleasance. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/28/24 Full Review r 9 An interesting murder mystery. 'What a Carve Up' makes for a satisfactory film. The relation between the characters helps string it together, with the mansion becoming a suitable setting. The comedy is decent, Sid James is amusing as Syd. It's very much what you'd expect from a black-and-white production from 1961, but it's one that is worth a watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member almost perfect, carry on film esk, brilliantly acted Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Acted out with great enthusiasm, funny with a twist of terror--Mixing Carry On with Ealing!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member ok brit horror comedy Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Why don't more people know about this movie??? I happened across it online and it is hands down the best horror spoof i've ever seen. The script is tight and the acting is great; truly an enjoyable film experience that I would put on par with (or above) Young Frankenstein.
