Nothing wrong with the DVD. The film is like every other Carry On film; a load of rubbish. Charles Hawtry can't act. Kenneth Williams plays Kenneth Williams. The only reason I bought the film is for the external and internal shots of Rowse's shop on Ealing High Street, which was used in the film. I wanted the shots for a geanealogy project, and the shop is no longer there.
This movie was shot in 1960 just as the Carry On series was taking off with the public. Sid James makes his first appearance as an experienced police sergeant desparately trying to control three cadets who have volunteered to help out an undermanned station by pounding the beat. This trio consists of superstitious Charlie Constable (Kenneth Connor), upper-class prankster Tom Potter (Leslie Philips), and theory-minded Stanley Benson (Kenneth Williams). They turn out to be three keen but clueless rookies who leave a trail of chaos wherever they go. Part of the appeal of this film is nostalgia. The policing methods of 1960 have changed beyond all recognition today. There was little high technology then but the copper on the beat in his blue serge uniform and whistle was a British institution who had the confidence of the man in the street. It goes without saying that our gang of bumbling law-enforcers eventually prove themselves by tackling an unsolved crime and putting the perpetrators behind bars. Charles Hawtrey is the incomptent special constable Timothy Gorst, and Hattie Jacques is a forceful woman sergeant whose domain extends throughout the breadth of the station.Read full review
