A group of holidaymakers head for the Spanish resort of Elsbels for a 4-day visit. When they get there, they find the Hotel still hasn’t been finished being built, and the weather is awful. And there is something strange about the staff. They all look very similar. To top it all off, the weather seems to be having an adverse affect on the Hotel’s foundations…

I tried it once and didn't like it (I absolutely love it)
They didn't just make a great movie with Carry on Abroad, they nailed it, this is my favourite of the films, I think it's up there with Screaming.
So they didn't have a big budget, and it wasn't filmed in Spain, but it doesn't matter. Filmed entirely in England, during what appears to be the colder months they somehow manage to get away with it. It's not the first time a leap of faith is needed in a film.
Package holidays really took off for Brits in the 70's so it was only natural that the gang had one of their own. One of the strongest casts of all time, they're pretty much all there, and all on top form.
Noted for being the last Carry on film to feature Charles Hawtrey, bit of an in joke for the production team I think, having Charles's character Mr Tuttle as an alcoholic, with an overbearing Mother, a sad way for him to have bowed out.
Kenneth Williams is awesome, Charles Hawtrey is hilarious and it's my favourite Carry on outing for Kenneth Connor, only Gail Grainger was a little questionable, but she looked the part, it was her first acting role to be fair.
Some of the funniest lines and humour in any of the Carry of films, yes in parts it was smutty, quite rude, we were getting mild nudity, but at times it was brilliant, the best part for me being the dialogue between Sid and June Whitfield, 'I tried it once and didn't like it,' that was genius.
An out and out classic, bawdy and laugh out loud funny. 10/10

The Last Truly Brilliant Carry On
Carry On Abroad is one of those perfect Carry Ons where most of the main stars appear and have great fun entertaining the public. Yeah there is a lot of nudge-nudge humour, but not once does it sink to the level of crudities that other 70s comedies like the Confession or Adventure series' do. It's laugh-a-minute stuff that only improves with every viewing (and I have seen it a LOT!)As with every Carry On it's an ensemble piece and this cast is a who's who of British comedy at the time. If you like Carry Ons you won't be disappointed, everyone involved is on the top of their form. Not only the best Carry On but one of the finest British comedies of the 70's.
