Format:DVD
This fifth instalment of the Carry On... series was more of a series of sketches. Now that the series was a top box office money-spinner for producer Peter Rogers, director Gerald Thomas and screenwriter Norman Hudis, they were inundated with ideas from the public. The answer was to take the best of these ideas and turn them into incidents featuring members of a "Helping Hands" agency. Manager of the agency was Sidney James and his team included Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Kenneth Connor, Bill Owen, Terence Longdon (his last Carry On...), Liz Fraser and Joan Sims. The best of the sketches include Sims getting drunk at a wine tasting and Hawtrey ending up in a boxing match. Some sketches work better than others. The whole team at the "Ideal House Exhibition" works, the whole team cleaning one of their landlord's properties at the end doesn't. But the joy as always is to watch a team of comic geniuses at work.

Essentially a series of comic scenes loosely strung together around the 'Helping Hands' Employment Agency' managed by Sid James and his able assistant Esme Cannon the gentle nature of late 50s comedy films is evident in this fifth entry in the series. I particularly like Stanley Unwin as the incomprehensible landlord and Charles Hawtrey's character whom amusing engages in a mismatched boxing match. For its 2007 DVD release we find Carry On historian Robert Ross joined on the commentary by Liz Fraser and Terence Longdon, the former taking great delight in gently mocking Robert's encyclopaedic knowledge of the franchise. No trailer on offer this time out but at least we've got a four minute stills gallery as a welcome addition to the main feature

Format:VHS Tape
The criticisms of this film are fair enough,it isn't a great film,although I prefer this early 60s effort to the later smuttier 1970's Carry On films which were desperately trying to keep up with the soft porn Confessions type comedies(and failing miserably). It is episodic and clunky but if you're a fan of the lovely,buxom Liz Fraser then this is a must buy. Liz has many scenes including the famous one of Liz in bra and panties,even better than the one in THE AMOROUS PRAWN which came out at a similar time to Carry On Regardless. Recommended for Liz fans.

Very good
Liz in her underwear, Joan getting sloshed and jokes about no substitutes here, make this little number worth a repeat viewing or two.

carry on regardless is a 1961 movie that is a sign of the times in some ways,more slapstick than later carry ons and a sense of comedy of old rather than the risque material that... Read more

Carry On No.5
Following hot on the trail of Carry On Constable (1959), Peter Rogers and Gerald Thomas came up with a slightly less ambitious comedy with Carry On Regardless. Read more

Pleasant Comedy
This is actually funnier than a lot of the later Carry-ons. The acting is not quite as high-camp (even from Kenneth Williams), and there is less crude slapstick. Read more
