God bless Sid James, what a legend... what a wrinkled face (too much grinning)
Same here, love the 'Carry On' films, have most of them on DVD... favourite has got to be 'Carry on up the Khyber'. I once read somewhere that it was made for virtually nothing, filmed largely in Snowdonia rather than India and used the uniforms from the film Zulu which had been made earlier in the year... classic stuff
For those of you not familiar with the plot:
In India, Private Jimmy Widdle is discovered wearing underpants under his kilt, shattering the myth of Scottish invincibility that has kept the natives in line. The Khasi of Kalabar hears the news and tries to throw out the Brits. The villainous Khasi plans a rebellion against the Governor, Sir Sydney Ruff-Diamond, but the contents of Sir Sydney’s Highlanders’ kilts sees off the Khasi.
Lady Ruff-Diamond manages to capture on film the kilted Third Foot and Mouth regiment in a most revealing situation.
Brilliant
