Carry On... Every Movie, Every Star (On Screen)

di Stephen Lambe (Autore)

Sonicbond Publishing, 2018

* 2018 marks the 60th anniversary of the start of the Carry On series. * The first book to examine each of the 31 films in detail. * Also covers the Carry On TV series and the Christmas Specials. When Carry on Sergeant became a big hit in British cinemas in 1958, not even the most optimistic of its cast or crew believed that it would become the first of a 31-film franchise. The series went on to become one of the most successful and well-loved in British - and indeed world - cinema. Beginning as relatively gentle comedies, the humour broadened during the late 60s, taking on an end of the pier quality that at its best was as hilarious as it was risque. Lifelong fan Stephen Lambe discusses each of the films in depth, celebrating the team's greatest moments, while examining in equal detail some of the lesser known or less successful editions of the series, as well as some of the unsung performers that made the series such a success. He also examines some of the series spin offs - including the Carry on Christmas TV. With plenty to excite both casual and diehard fans, The Carry Ons - on screen is the perfect reference guide to this remarkable series of films.
