Description
A lively and definitive history of the Carry On films is presented in this updated story. From the gentle capers of the 1950s to its struggles in later decades, the franchise's comedy, controversy, and cultural legacy are explored. Exclusive interviews with remaining stars shed new light on the talent and hard work that went into creating the laughs. The film series' female stars share their personal memories from this unique era, challenging common criticisms of sexism and racism. A fresh look at some of the series' biggest titles reveals a more progressive side than often claimed. This book asks if Carry On still has legs in today's film landscape.
