You won't be disappointed!

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Fun movie, as rapid-fire setups keep "Carry on Cabby" moving along at a fast clip. Just keep watching- a lot is thrown at you fast, so you can't help but get caught up in it. It is sometimes boorish but never crude and is funny in spots. Sidney James and Hattie Jacques were excellent comic actors (as opposed to "comedians") and are very watchable as Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins. Ms. Jacques was an abundantly proportioned, graceful woman with abundant talent to match. Sidney James never gave a bad performance in drama or comedy- he was seemingly adept at everything acting-wise.Many of the Carry-on movie regulars are here and manage to keep the action going, enjoyably for the most part as they are well-directed in this outing.While filmed in black-and-white and maybe a bit dated-looking, the overall Carry-on concept is timeless. And I am ready for a ride in a Glamcab ("just flash your headlamps at them!")

I wish I could get with this series. I seem to remember enjoying one or two when they were first released. But now, years later, they mostly add up to a not very successful television comedy program dependent on weird-looking characters, slapstick, and weak jokes. This one centers around the conflict between the love-starved Hattie Jacques and her cabby husband, Sid James. There is an abundance of ancillary characters.I'll give an example of the humor. Charles Hawtrey, who looks like my Grandma, is constantly falling over things, frequently while carrying some delicate objects like tea cups. He falls over empty petrol cans, a table, and so forth. His goal: to become a cab driver.Hawtrey shows up at the cab company and applies for a job. His name is "Terry Tankard" but the boys all call him "Pint pot" -- "because of my name, Tankard, you see?" Sid James squints at him oddly and asks, "You're sure it was PINT pot?" (Joke.) It's all very cheerful, from the jaunty opening tune, and very working class in its plot, its humor, and its characters. And that was probably the intent. Keep it simple and only slightly off color. It probably amused undemanding audiences.But the industry in Britain was capable of far more than this sort of thing. I'll only mention the Ealing comedies of the 50s and early 60s in passing. Maybe my neurology has evolved (or devolved) but the Carry On series seems much less impressive now than it did in the early 60s. Not insulting and not dated, just a bit stale. I can imagine others finding the more amusing.

This was the seventh film in the famous line of British comedy films, this seemingly the best of the black and white ones, I didn't really read any reviews like that before, I just wanted to see it because I had seen many of the others. Basically Speedee Taxis run by workaholic owner Charlie Hawkins (Sid James) is a successful business, but it is causing him to neglect his wife Peggy (Hattie Jacques). On the day of their fifteenth wedding anniversary he manages to remember a thoughtful present, but when she wants to go out for a meal he blows it, with extra delay from expectant father Jeremy (Jim Dale) and his heavily pregnant wife. Peggy is so mad with him that she decides to give him a taste of his own medicine by taking all his savings out of the bank to create her own rival taxi service called GlamCabs, an all attractive women drivers service. She is lying to Charlie that she has got a new job, and he soon finds out about the new rival taxi business, but he has no idea that his wife is the owner, and Flo Sims (Esma Cannon), another neglected wife, is the office manager. While trying to compete with his new unknown rival, becoming successful because of men wanting to ogle at the sexy girl, Charlie also struggles to keep order with some of his drivers, including the accident prone Terry 'Pintpot' Tankard (Charles Hawtrey), and of course bankruptcy. Soon enough Peggy is feeling guilty for what she is doing to her husband, and after a failed attempted sabotage he does find out the identity of the rival company owner and starts drinking. Then on one of their runs Peggy and Flo have two robbers with guns get in the taxi and want them to drive them to get away, luckily they put the radio on to get Charlie and all the Speedee Taxis on their case. In the end after a big chase and the bad guys captured by all the surrounding cabs, Peggy and Charlie kiss and make up, and celebrate the news that she is pregnant. Also starring Kenneth Connor as Ted Watson, Liz Fraser as Sally, Bill Owen as Smiley Sims, Milo O'Shea as Len, Judith Furse as Battleaxe and Amanda Barrie as Anthea. The cast as always are all great fun, especially Hawtrey as the hapless and silly taxi driver who causes chaos, the film has a bit more innuendo and sexuality than seen before, this obviously develops more later, and it is a fun story, a good comedy. Carry On films were number 39 on The 100 Greatest Pop Culture Icons. Worth watching!

Well almost! There is a real battle of the sexes in this carry on and if you don't mind the expression the women come out on top. This is not a very funny carry on, in fact quite the contrary. There are moments that are actually quite touching. THe marriage between Hatti and husband Sid is a troubled one and its nece to see real character development. Its actually quite poignant. Hatti is playing for truth rather than being cast as the fat funny lady.The climax of the movie when all the cabs start chasing the bad guys who are abducting Hatti Jacques and Liz Frazer is actually very exciting. Those taxis and other "relics" of the time look wonderfully nostalgic. The interior sets look cute too and its all in glorious black and white. The music is wonderful and the script is character driven but still has a strong story line. Although it may not be very funny it is extremely entertaining and its a fine movie. The script is excellent and the characters are beautifully developed. This is a good story. We are given a break from the fabulous Kenneth Williams but there is plenty of talent. Great to see Hatti Jacques get more to do and she gives a brilliant performance. The ever reliable Liz Fraser does great work too. Sid James is wonderful in this role and its easy to see why he became so popular. Jim Dale in a small role is great and later its interesting that he became so sexy. Charles Hawtry is in fine form and the normally annoying Kenneth Connor gives his best under stated performance without the annoying mannerisms that detracted from many of the carry on movies. Esma Cannon plays it quite straight for a change and as always still steals every scene she is in. The real star of this is Hatti Jacques who really makes this fine movie a totally enjoyable experience.
