Before it all got crude Carry On films were much lighter. This one being the first of all of them. It still as moments that are funny today, but I doubt it will be as seen as say, Carry on Cleo.
The performances here are quite good as well. Especially William (Doctor Who) Hartnell as the drilling sergeant.
A modern audience may find it all a bit slow. Which, of course it is. But unlike later Carry On films there's a continued plot. Which even though its still only there to bounce jokes off. At least it feels like a plot.
Not as funny as some of the later ones, but still better made and acted.
