That's Carry On
Dir: Gerald Thomas
1977
**
That's Carry On, officially the 29th and penultimate of the original Carry On films, isn't really a film in its own right but is instead a collection (best of bits) of scenes from the preceding 28 films of the franchise. It is introduced by Kennith Williams and Barbara Windsor in way of some rather innuendo heavy and to be honest, unfunny snippets set inside the projection room of a cinema. As its own film it's nothing really but it will make you want to watch your favorite Carry On film straight after watching. Peter rogers and Gerald Thomas were well known to be tight with their money by this point, so rehashing old stuff rather than making new material lost them credibility and this really was the penultimate nail in the coffin.
