This entry in the successful but cheaply made British Carry On series of films explores women's liberation and a beauty contest at a sleepy seaside town.
The film's feature bawdy 'humour' that at times appears aged and very un-PC in nature and would not be made today. The me to campaign seen at the 2018 Academy Awards ceremony would like the nature of the screenplay!
The film tends to focus on older male characters drooling over the female beauty contestants to much in some scenes! In particular the main star, the late Sidney James playing a character called Sid (as he always seemed to do) and Barbara Windsor in the role of Miss. Easy Rider, Hope Springs.
Look out for cameo appearances by the likes of Robin Askwith (Timothy Lea in another British comedy series of the era, the Confessions films) as a photographer. Interesting to see what cheap comedy was on offer to British audiences during the 1970s!
Perhaps a successful remake (again) of the Carry On series could be launched now covering modern day issues and starring modern day comedians like Peter Kay and Steve Coogan. Just an idea?
