5.0 out of 5 stars What a Carry On!!!, 14 April 2006
By Twazzer (Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Carry On Story (Hardcover)
A exquisitely presented book which tells the story of the Carry On films. The contains a wealth of first hand material which had not been shown before and this is I think the selling point of the book. Handwritten letters from the likes of Sid James and, the ever-underrated, Peter Butterworth are presented in their original form and are fascinating for all Carry On fans.

The book is written in an accessible format and I like the single page format on each prominant Carry On actor. Perhaps the most revealing sections of the book are not on the films themselves but rather on linked aspects such as merchandise and the efforts to make Carry On films since 1978.

An excellent and revealing look at a classic film series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for the Carry On fan, 30 Jun 2005
By Freddie Valentine "lordfreddievalentine" (Berkshire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Carry On Story (Hardcover)
Robert Ross' previous book about these classic British comedy films, 'The Carry On Companion', was more focussed on critical opinion than solid facts, but this book is 100 times better and is packed full of info and rare archive pictures.
It covers all of the films plus the live shows and tv outings. As well as devoting a whole page to each of the main team members, there are also honourable sections on the previously unsing acting talents that added to the character of the Carry On films.
The book is well laid out and has some excellent archive pictures including behind the scenes photo's, call sheets and promotional material.
Excellent touches are the location details which for fans of the films answer questions which have previously baffled us.
The book is expensive, but if you are a fan, it truly is worth every penny. Well written, excellently illustrated and visually appealing, it would be hard to better this volume.

This review is from: The Carry On Story (Hardcover)
Another great book from Robert Ross, well written and illustrated. The king of British comedy has produced another great. Full of facts about this wonderful comedy series. On a level par with The Carry On Companion.
