The Rain in Spain
20 December 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Tourist travel gets the Carry On troupe's special treatment in Carry On Abroad. I think this film might have been inspired by the American movie If It's Tuesday It Must Be Belgium.

A whole bunch of our Carry On regulars go on a vacation tour in Spain with Kenneth Williams as the tour guide. Among others on the tour are Sid James, Joan Sims, Bernard Bresslaw, Charles Hawtrey and curvaceous Sally Geeson.

They've booked a vacation at Peter Butterworth's hotel. The problem is that it isn't finished and he's having labor problems. Nevertheless these British tourists have reservations for his little inn in Spain. And the problems resulting from the incomplete construction are where the comedy comes from.

Some really great events when a whole bunch of the Carry On regulars invade the local bordello and get arrested. But the climax is one for the books when several people spike the punch and the hotel's very foundation starts cracking due to the unfinished construction. Poor Butterworth is trying to warn all these drunk tourists of the danger and no one pays him heed.

A lot of laughs in this Carry On film, don't miss it.
