Carry On #13: Don’t Lose Your Head

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 16, 2019

I wasn’t expecting much from Don’t Lose Your Head (Gerald Thomas, 1967). To me, it felt as if it was going to be one of these nice but somehow forgettable Carry Ons. That was mostly because the film is not necessarily the most famous or the most talked-about of the series, just one amon read more

Carry On #12: Carry On Screaming!

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 15, 2019

Carry On #11: Carry On Cowboy

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 14, 2019

After a very short break from reviewing Carry On films, I’m back with this western movie parody: Carry On Cowboy (Gerald Thomas, 1965)! The film marked Angela Douglas, Peter Butterworth, and Bernard Bresslaw’s first appearances in the franchise.  I must admit that Carry On Cowboy is amo read more

Taking a Walk On ‘Quality Street’ (George Stevens 1937)

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 12, 2019

I’ve come to realize that I hadn’t participated in a blogathon since July (The Joan Bennett Blogathon)! I hope none of you are taking it personal but with the beginning of my master in Stockholm, I didn’t want to commit myself to such things since I was afraid I might have to canc read more

Carry On #10: Carry On Cleo

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 10, 2019

Through this fun blog series, we’ve already explored a total of ten Carry On films! Of course, we’re not even halfway through them, but I’m glad this is going so well so far! Oh, before I continue, yesterday, I discovered some beautiful photos of Kenneth Williams and Ingrid Bergma read more

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 9, 2019

I welcome you back with another review written for the Carry On blog series! This time, we’ll explore Carry On Spying (1964), which was the last film of the franchise to be shot in black and white. Furthermore, it also introduced Barbara Windsor to the series. She eventually became a Carry On read more

Carry On #8: Carry On Jack

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 8, 2019

Carry On Jack (1964) is not necessarily known as the best film of the franchise. BFI didn’t list it among its list of five Carry On films to forget, but it’s not the one people will remember the best as it mostly seemed to be “a film among others”. With this in mind, I didn& read more

Carry On #7: Carry On Cabby

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 7, 2019

We’ve already been through a week of Carry On films! To end this in beauty, we’re back with a more simple film of the series, leaving the colour of Carry On Cruising behind, with Carry On Cabby. Released in 1963, Carry On Cabby had the particularity to have a new screenwriter, Talbot Ro read more

Carry On #6: Carry On Cruising

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 6, 2019

Today, we shall review a quite special Carry On film! Why? Because Carry On Cruising (1962) was the first colour film of the series! This allowed us to see Kenneth Williams’s beautiful blue eyes. On a sadder note, this also was the first Carry On film not to feature Charles Hawtrey, and Joan read more

Carry On #5: Carry On Regardless

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 5, 2019

Wow! We’ve already reached the 5th article of this blogging series! And of all the Carry On films, it had to be Carry On Regardless (1961) which I enjoyed immensely. Of course, we still have a lot to explore, but I’m becoming more and more fond of the Carry On franchise. I also want to read more

Carry On #4: Carry On Constable

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 4, 2019

I can’t believe I’ve already reviewed three of the Carry On films! And here we go for a fourth one: Carry On Constable (1960)! I know, it’s just 4 out of 31, but I feel this is looking more and more like a blogging series, no? By the way, I just went to the library and borrowed tw read more

Carry On #3: Carry On Teacher

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 3, 2019

Are you ready for number three? At the point where Carry On Teacher was released, in 1959, Carry On was now a trilogy. Oh,  but there was much more to come! At this point, I believe people were getting more and more familiar with the concept of Carry On films and expected to see the familiar faces read more

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 2, 2019

We’re continuing the Carry On blog series today with Carry On Nurse (1959), which officially was the 2nd film of the funny British series! Producer Peter Rogers, director Gerald Thomas, and screenwriter Norman Hudis reunited themselves after the success of Carry On Sergeant (1958) to create a read more

Three Enchanting Ladies Ingrid Bergman in her hometown, Stockholm After exploring different Garbo-related places in Stockholm last weekend, I thought it would be a good idea to do the same today with our enchanting lady Ingrid Bergman!
