I have watched this entry in the long running Carry On 'comedy' franchise on several occasions and indeed it is one of my favourite entries in the series of films.
Like all the films it had the typical low budget but enjoys a certain charm that the series began to lose somewhat as the 1970s progressed.
The film focuses on 1970s worker relations with regards to trade union membership and industrial stoppages that blighted the U.K. at the time.
Set in a toilet factory 'Boggs' it has plenty of toilet humour pardon the pun.
Most of the franchise regulars are involved. Look out for some scenes that show the acting talents of Sidney James and Joan Sims as next door neighbours cum work colleagues who hold a special bond.
I never thought about the political connotations of the film preferring to focus on the innocent comedy as exemplified by a works outing to Brighton, a U.K. tourist destination.
It is the inherent anti-union storyline that affected the film's box-office on release in 1971 amongst it's mainly working class cinema customers.
The Carry Ons are an anomaly that split cinephiles. The clever clog critics deride them it seems but why can't you just have ninety minutes of innocent humour?
