A worthwhile addition to the Carry On library
| Customer Rating: | | I'm not a huge Carry On fan, so therefore I've been waiting for a book by a 'safe pair of hands' such as Richard Webber (author of very sensible and interesting studies of Dad's Army and Hancock) to cover this comic phenomenon with a fair degree of critical insight as well as the usual enthusiasm, and I'm not disappointed. Although, personally, I feel the quality of the Carry Ons dipped a bit earlier than Webber suggests, and I find the acting in the later films quite often pretty dire, this book offers a convincing and engaging celebration of what made these films (at their best) so enduringly popular. In-depth material on the actors thesmselves will demand another book, but what is here focusses on the films themselves, and, if you want just one Carry On volume on your shelf, this could well be the one to choose. |
