Their unique talents at Helping Hands
10 January 2015
The Carry On gang had one of their best outings in Carry On Regardless, the story of an employment agency run by Sid James where they handle temporary and unique job situations. The nature of the film with the various Carry On troupe members sent on assignment is perfect exhibiting the comedy styles of all the regulars.

Such a structure tends to be episodic but in this case hilarious. During the course of the film we see Kenneth Williams get hired as a pet walker and the pet turns out to be a chimpanzee. Great scene when they end up at the London Zoo with Williams and his charge at tea time with his peers. There's also Joan Sims hired to help out at a wine tasting party by Howard Marion Crawford and getting absolutely polluted. And we can't forget Charles Hawtrey hired as a boxing ring second stepping into the ring and taking over when his fighter can't perform. Each skit fills the comic style of the performer perfectly.

A really marvelous comedy from Great Britain courtesy of the ever ready Carry On troupe this time at the Helping Hands Employment Agency.
