| User Reviewdoris cthis is good but not really that funny apart from one part when the captain has gone mad and ist just funny and you'll have to see for yourself. |
| User ReviewJunior WLike most of the Carry on movies. LOVE IT |
| User Reviewmirabella 1All of the Carry On films get 4 or 5 stars from me. They have been a much-loved part of my life ever since I can remember. |
| User ReviewPrivate UNot one of the best of the Carry on series. |
| User ReviewScott HNot the best, but certainly not the worst as the Carry On series takes to the seas again. Kenneth Williams stands out and Bernie Cribbins makes a good debut. But Juliet Mills fails to convince and whilst she does well in other British comedy movies her style is more suited to a more Ealing type film than a quick fire gag Carry On Film |
| User ReviewDave HWhen I first saw this I didn't think much to it but now that I'm older I see more of the funny side of it. Just a shame that there isn't many of the original carry on crowd in it. |

| User ReviewStuart KThis title â" intended as a spoof on the troubled MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY (1962) â" emerges as the odd one out in the "Carry On" series: not only do we only find just three regular performers here (Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey and Jim Dale), but there's little typical material; taken on its merits, however, it isn't bad at all and not quite the dud described on the series' official website! Incidentally, the irregular actors are the ones who score best â" particularly Bernard Cribbins as an unlikely but likable hero (his character is named Poop-Decker!) and Donald Houston, intense as the villain of the piece; on the feminine side, there's the surprise casting of Juliet Mills (as a floozie who passes off as a midshipman â" she sets out in search of her lost love, who turns out to be a pirate leader!). As I said, the "Carry On" stalwarts rather play second-fiddle here (especially Dale, who only gets an inconsequential bit early on), though Williams and Hawtrey manage to assert themselves during the film's latter half (when Houston and cohort Percy Herbert instigate a mutiny and our heroes are cast off at sea). While there are obviously a number of laughs scattered throughout, the general tone is atypically serious: Williams â" playing the cowardly skipper of the "Venus", he's given the unsurprisingly ironic name of Captain Fearless â" even loses a leg and, consequently, gets twice the "desk job" he so craved for. Also in the cast is Cecil Parker as the long-suffering Admiral who sets the naïve, bumbling Cribbins off on a naval career and reappears at the end to decorate him and his companions (Houston has blackmailed Spanish Governor Patrick Cargill into yielding his entire fleet and is taking it victoriously back to England, when it's unwittingly destroyed by Cribbins & Co. â" the ship's loaded cannons go off during a deck-fire, with the deed being taken for a successful attempt on their part to repel the oncoming Spanish invasion!). |
| User ReviewLes EA real jolly romp upon the high seas. Certainly worth a watch. Bernard Cribbins was great in his first Carry On. |
