Carry on meets Hammer......
Hand on heart I'd have to say this is possibly the best, or at least in the top three of the Carry on Series. It is hilarious, it is unique, it feels so different to every other Carry on film, there is a definite newness to it, as a stand alone film it's superb. The plot is like no other Carry on film, a sinister family, taking young girls and turning them into shop dummies, more like a Hammer from then a Carry on.
The newness I mentioned is provided by Harry H Corbett and Fenella Fielding, even though she's appeared in Regardless she still felt new. Both are so good, they have some truly funny moments, but in Screaming it's Kenneth Williams that shines, for me this was one of his best performances, he is just so funny, 'Frying tonight!' Smaller roles for some of the supporting cast, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, Jon Pertwee, but each performs brilliantly.
Funny throughout, too many moments to pick out a best bit, but the scenes with Odd bod and Junior are really funny.
Fenella looked incredible, her figure was outstanding, and that dress made her look incredible, coupled with that voice she was perfectly cast in the role.
The production values are great, straight out of Hammer horror, as it the music.
It's a classic comedy, the film of my childhood. 10/10
Foul Feet Smell Something Horrible
If you only ever watch one Carry On film make sure it's this one. Consistently funny with terrific performances from everyone involved this is guaranteed to make you laugh. The makers have got the period setting spot on for a classic p@!s-take of all those brilliant Hammer films. Talbot Rothwell throws everything into this - a mad scientist, a deliciously evil and beautiful sister, an effective looking monster, a couple of Jeckyll and Hyde transformations, a spooky mansion, fog shrouded woods and a couple of inept coppers in the style of Holmes and Watson. Peter Butterworth has never been better and Harry H Corbett is simply stunning in his only Carry On appearance. Also worthy of mention are Jon Pertwee and Charles Hawtrey despite these two only being on screen for one scene each. The story revolves around missing young women who are being turned into tailors dummies by Kenneth Williams' manic Doctor Watt. Jim Dale tries to persuade Detective Sergeant Bung and his idiotic assistant Slowbottom that his date Doris has been abducted by a hideous monster while they were enjoying a night in Hokum Woods, 'How far did you go?' asks Bung (meaning how far into the woods they went), 'Oh not far I've only known her a year!' says Dale and that sums up the humour, not very intellectual but very very funny, in fact the funniest line comes when Corbett - having stolen the dummy of Doris from a shop while under the influence of one of Watts potions - turns to Jim Dale (number 1 suspect) and says 'I suppose I took it!!'. Every thing in this - the 12th Carry on - hits the mark and along with 'Carry On At Your Convenience' shows a team clearly enjoying themselves and it's a pleasure to watch time and time again. A Classic.
