Par for the Course - Carry on Abroad review by CD
A fairly typical outing for the Carry On Team with all the familiar characters and nudge and wink jokes, mainly of low quality! I watched this as a reminder of Barbara Windsor who sadly passed away in 2020. It’s much more however a film for Kenneth Williams, Peter Butterworth, Kenneth Connor and Charles Hawtrey to shine a little although in my view this is a lesser film than other Carry ons. The best bits are the 1970s context (clothes, class mores, accents, sensitivities, complete lack of technology, insecurity over going abroad) and the upbeat end. There are some funny moments in the hotel as well particularly in the meal scenes.
