Product Description

Product Description

Fourth entry in the 'Carry On' series. Police Sergeant Wilkins (Sid James, in his 'Carry On' debut) has a new batch of inept recruits on his hands, whose idea of covert surveillance involves dressing up in drag. Bumbling PCs include Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Kenneth Connor and Leslie Phillips.

From Amazon.co.uk

Made in 1960, Carry On Constable is one of the earliest Carry On comic romps, arriving before they'd carved out their bawdy niche in British cinema. In fact, this Gerald-Thomas-directed effort isn't dissimilar to most of the mainstream Brit-com of its era. A flu epidemic has forced a police station to take on a brace of callow recruits: Kenneth Connor, a superstitious bag of nerves; Leslie Phillips, playing his usual rapscallion self; the ludicrously effete Charles Hawtrey and Kenneth Williams. The "plot" is a sequence of thoroughly creaky gags at the expense of this bumbling quartet. The staple characters hadn't settled into their "classic" personae yet. Here, Sid James is an exasperated sergeant, not the sort of crinkly rogue he played in later years, Kenneth Williams is dry, detached and supercilious, while Hattie Jacques is no matron but a sympathetic sergeant, whose every walk-on is not yet accompanied by the portly strains of tubas and bassoons. The comedy here is, frankly, dismal--banana skins are slipped upon and officers' legs urinated upon bydogs, all to a rueful soundtrack of wah-wah trumpets. The main appeal of this movie is as a period slice of damp, pre-Beatles London in glorious black and white.

On the DVD: Although picture and sound are adequate (though poorly dubbed in places), there are no extras at all, a shame for the hardcore Carry On aficionados to whom this release would surely, perhaps exclusively, appeal. --David Stubbs --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 starsEnter Sid James
By Ian Phillips on 22 May 2006
Format: DVD
Carry On Constable was a turning point in the series as it marked the first apperance of Sid James. Surprisingly he doesn't play his usual rogue-like, lecherous old man role as he always did in later entries, instead playing a fair, down-to-earth, good old fashioned policeman who is continually undermined by his superior. Still his performance was a breeze of fresh air in the series. This is basically Carry On Sergeant transferred to a police station. None of it is beleavable of course, but there is certainly plenty of fun to endure and this is perharps one of the best of the black and white Carry On's. Leslie Phillips, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey and Kenneth Connor, all play the blatantly incompetent trainee police-officers who make a mockery of virtually every task they're given but all turns out good in the end of course - after all this is a Carry On film. Amongst the rest of the cast include Joan Sims as super-efficent WPC Gloria Pasworthy (who Kenneth Connor falls hopelessly in love with in the film), Hattie Jaques as a down-to-earth, understanding officer who enjoys a close friendship with Sid James and an amusing cameo from Joan Hickson playing a loveable, typically English eccentric who is forever drunk and getting arrested on drunken-disorderley charges.

4.0 out of 5 starsThe first milestone Carry On movie.
By Spike Owen TOP 500 REVIEWER on 20 Jun. 2015
Format: DVD
A flu epidemic has reduced the local police station down to a skeleton crew. Hope arrives in the form of four recruits - - that's no hope mind you...

Carry On Constable introduced the wonderful Sid James to the series, he would become one of the most beloved actors to Carry On film fans. Ironically "Constable" finds James somewhat removed from the type of character he would become known for, it's a restrained role and showcases his acting abilities as an official figure type, the glue binding the whole play together.

The fourth film in the Carry On series retains the more genteel comedy factors that had imbued the previous three outings, though this would be the first to show nudity! Four policemen's bums gleaming bright! A scene that provides a splendid anecdote in Kenneth Williams brilliant book, Just Williams (I urge anyone interested in classic film/TV/radio/stage to check it out).

Plot basically pitches the four recruits, Williams, Leslie Phillips, Charles Hawtrey and Kenneth Connor (brilliant as usual as a superstitious sort) into a number of chaotic physical situations mined for laughs. Back at the station Sgt. Frank Wilkins (James) is pulling his hair out at the ineptitude of his new charges - and that of his ignoramus boss, Inspector Mills (Eric Barker). Joan Sims is on hand to steam the collar of Kenny Connor, just as Phillips lusts after any female form, while Hattie Jaques provides a glimpse of her tender character acting side as the station's sensible soul.

There's some drag dressings played for good laughs, a whole bunch of scenes where the not so intrepid coppers get taken for fools, and a few deftly scripted lines guaranteed to raise a smile.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsAll constables together.
By Pam Pike on 17 Jan. 2016
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is one of my favourite Carry On films. It is a little more sedate than future offerings but enduring and entertaining. Sid James in his first Carry On role steals the film but the rest of the cast run him a close second. All the favourites are there but only Leslie Phillips is still with us. The screenplay is by Norman Hudis who wrote six of the films before being succeeded by Talbot Rothwell.

3.0 out of 5 starsRather good

Despite Sid James this is still a good film.

The black and white carry ons are in a different class to the second rate stuff that followed (with one or two exceptions ie Convenience, England) .

3.0 out of 5 starsTRADITIONAL CARRY ON
By ianphillips@uk.dreamcast.com on 24 Sept. 2000
Format: VHS Tape
Early entry in the series and basically a re make of Carry On Seargant only this time round being set in a police station. Even so, there are still many laughs to be had even though you can see the chaotic situations that the team get themselves into coming a mile off. The cast includes SID JAMES, in his first Carry On role, KENNETH WILLIAMS, CHARLES HAWTREY, KENNETH CONNOR, LESLIE PHILLIPS, JOAN SIMS, HATTIE JAQUES and ERIC BARKER. The best players are KENNETH WILLIAMS and CHARLES HAWTREY in their usual outrageously camp roles. An overly good, clean old fashioned comedy.

I personally enjoy the old black and white Carry On movies, and this one is one of my favourites. With some superb performances from Kenneth Connor and Kenneth Williams,this movie represents excellent value for money. Ding dong, I'm not wrong!
