Another positive review for When the Carry On Stopped. @WhenCarryOn @WhiteOwlBooks @penswordbooks @PSHistory #WhenTheCarryOnStopped #FilmHistory #FilmComedy

Carry On Spying - Dame Barbara Windsor's first Carry On film (1964) It's a good little film, sometimes overlooked as one of the true classics (is for me). Funny James Bond spoof with bubbly Barbara Windsor making her debut in the series. Even evokes a film noir look! Love it.
