The legendary 'Carry On' Brit comedy franchise (spanning ~30 films) would get funnier, naughtier, raunchier, better than tame 1958 opener "Carry On Sergeant". That one did tho show flashes of flair from future regular stars Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey & Kenneth Connor - who're all National Service conscripts with Bob Monkhouse in a rag-tag platoon training under Sgt William Hartnell & Cpl Bill Owen. Other future regulars like Hattie Jacques & Terry Scott also feature in support, and while it's certainly no "Stripes" (with many of its slapstick jokes aimed it now seems at pre-teens) it DOES have its golden place in history as the very first 'Carry On'.
