Product Description

Product Description

Sixth entry in the 'Carry On' series, and the first to be made in colour. Just as the luxury liner 'Happy Wanderer' is due to sail for the Mediterranean, a crisis arises which sees all the crew replaced with incompetent fools. Those all at sea include Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Kenneth Connor and Lance Percival.

From Amazon.co.uk

Well, the gang's all here, but Carry On Cruising isn't one of the classics of the series. This may be partly due to the film's well-intentioned stab at some sort of authenticity, being set as it is on a genuine cruise liner rather than in a studio full of cheap sets. It swiftly becomes apparent that the cramped environment isn't well suited to the kind of slapstick which is usually a key ingredient in any Carry On film. Veteran couch spuds will recall that the TV series Triangle was similarly disadvantaged, except that it wasn't supposed to be funny. As ever, though, the brilliant cast-in-residence manage to make the most of the situation. The plot, such as it is, deals with the tribulations which beset a world-weary captain (James) when he realises he's been saddled with a crew of misfits and incompetents (practically everybody else) on a cruise which is of course supposed to offer its passengers every comfort and convenience. If there's a single outstanding performance it has to be that of Lance Percival's chef, whose cheeriness as he presides over his various culinary experiments is extremely funny in a menacing sort of way.

3.0 out of 5 starsThe SS Nearly Happy Wanderer.
By Spike Owen TOP 500 REVIEWER on 20 July 2011
Format: DVD
Captain Wellington Crowther is bemused to find that for his 10th anniversary cruise aboard the SS Happy Wanderer, his crew consists of some newbies. Who on a first meeting with the Captain appear to be inept and destined to make a hash of the job in hand.

The Carry On movies are of course something of a British institution. Blending saucy postcard humour with slap-stick, it's a film franchise that has as many fans as it does detractors. One thing most British cinema fans can agree on is that when the series was good {Carry On Cleo} it was bona fide funny, and naturally the flip-side of that was when it was bad it was darn near desperate {Carry On England}. Carry On Cruising falls somewhere in the middle.

After securing a budget of almost £150,000, director Gerald Thomas and producer Peter Rogers decided to make this film the first Carry On picture in colour. Minus franchise stalwart Charles Hawtrey {who after having an attack of star-man ego was promptly replaced by Lance Perceval}, Carry On Cruising lacks a certain character dynamic that was a mainstay in the series highlights. Perceval is actually very good {it was his only Carry On appearance}, but with no Joan Sims, Jim Dale, Bernard Bresslaw, Hattie Jacques and Barbara Windsor, it's left to Kenneth Williams, Kenneth Connor and Sid James to carry the weight of the film. But with James in an unusually light and restrained role {Crowther}, there's just not enough mirth to fully please the majority of viewers.

I've personally been in lust with both Liz Fraser and Dilys Laye since forever, but they are poor comedy substitutes for the absent buxom comedienne's mentioned prior. Both ladies, in fact all in the film are outshone by Esma Cannon who is on excellently endearing Batty Biddie form.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsCruising is the most charming in the series!
By Ian Phillips on 10 May 2006
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. There is really no strong backbone of a plot in this one with it centering around The Helping Hands Agency. The Agency takes on six unemployed men and women and one of the clerks at the labour exchange who decides to join them in a quest for a new, more exciting job. They each find themselves plunged into a very odd, diverse range of assigments, which range from taking a chimp out for the day, trying to stay sober at a wine tasting and demonstrating new pieces of equipment at the Ideal home Exhibition. Of course being a Carry on film, everything they put their hands to turns horribly wrong! As there is just basically a series of sketches, the film overly feels disjointed and there is a feeling of something missing that you can't quite put your finger on. This is, however, nothing to do with the cast who are all on top form and are all clearly having a ball. The cast of regulars include Sid James, Joan Sims, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Hattie Jaques (yet again in the role of Matron) and the bumbling ecccentric, Kenneth Connor. Certainly some laughs to be had and some sequences are consistently amusing but the film is patchy and at times shows signs of not quite knowing where its going. If you're a big carry on fan then its still worth a look.

Carry On Cruising (1962) saw the series transferred into colour but the one thing missing from this is the large number of regulars absent from it - theres no Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims or Hattie Jaques. Yet surprisingly this does emerge as an enjoyable, entertaining entry in the long-running series.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starslovely liz fraser in colour
By Amazon Customer VINE VOICE on 24 Aug. 2005
Format: VHS Tape
I much prefer the earlier carry ons to the smuttier 1970s ones which tried unsuccessfully to ape the soft porn nature of movies prevalent in that decade.
These were innuendo rather than vulgarity.
The previous film CARRY ON REGARDLESS was black and white and the next in the series CARRY ON CABBY was also,yet strangely this one CRUISING was in colour. It looks sensational and don't know why CABBY didn't follow suit. Liz and Dilys Laye look lovely in it,I think Joan Sims was to play the Dilys role but pulled out for some reason.
I got it purely to see Liz in her swim suit looking gorgeous.
Also contains brilliant Sid James. For me it's not a true Carry On film without Sid.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Carry Ons burst into colour
By A Customer on 24 July 2002
Format: DVD
This was the sixth Carry On, and the first to be made in colour. Of the regular cast, we only get Kenneths Williams and Connor and Sid James, but all are on top form and are joined by semi-regulars Dilys Laye, Liz Fraser and Esma Cannon. Charles Hawtrey was written in as the chef, but did not appear, so saw the role taken by Lance Percival. Amazingly, given this brilliant comic turn, Percival did not appear in another Carry On, but he is very successful in stepping in for Hawtrey since he does not pretend to be Hawtrey. He is far less camp, far less bright, and doesn't use Hawtrey's infamous 'Oh, Hello!' Like all the Holiday Carry Ons (3 would follow - all were great) the film is so good as the cast are quite clearly enjoying themselves. This film was the last written by original scriptwriter Norman Hudis, and is a fitting swansong. Fantastic.
