Movies starring Charles Hawtrey

Passport to Pimlico (1949)

84 mins     Comedy      

With the current British Government enforcing budget cuts on the UK you couldn't blame anyone for feeling a bit peeved and wishing for a bit of land, independent from the rest of the UK and the interference of the government....

Carry on Sergeant (1958)

84 mins     Comedy      

"Carry on Sergeant" was the first of the "Carry On" movies which turned into one of Britain's most popular movie franchises, spanning 2 decades if you ignore the less than impressive "Carry on Columbus" from the 90s. Unlike t...

Carry on Nurse (1959)

86 mins     Comedy      

"Carry on Nurse" sees Hattie Jacques as Matron and a group of sexy nurses trying to control a ward of men including Leslie Phillips, Bill Owen, Kenneth Williams and Terence Longdon...

Carry on Teacher (1959)

86 mins     Comedy      

In the 3rd "Carry On" movie the "Carry On" crew take us back to school in "Carry On Teacher". Stand in headmaster William Wakefield is eyeing up a new job but with a visit from a school inspector and a child psychologist all ...

Carry on Constable (1960)

86 mins     Comedy      

I've said it before but I have to say it again, the earlier "Carry On" movies are some of the best as they are good all round fun rather than just comedies which deliver sexual innuendo. And "Carry on Constable" is a good exa...

Carry on Regardless (1961)

90 mins     Comedy      

Released in 1961 "Carry on Regardless" was the 5th "Carry On" movie and for me signalled the transition from fun comedies with a simple storyline to those sexual innuendo, set piece movies which ended up defining the franchis...

Carry on Jack (1963)

91 mins     Comedy      

"Carry on Jack" isn't the worst "Carry On" movie it's not even a bad "Carry On" movie but it almost doesn't feel like a "Carry On" movie at all. Firstly it actually has a storyline, a comedy one but still a storyline which is...

Carry on Cabby (1963)

91 mins     Comedy      

One of the biggest criticisms that people have of the "Carry On" movies is that they are all the same and rarely have anything close to a proper storyline. And in a way they are right because the better known "Carry On" movie...

Carry on Spying (1964)

87 mins     Comedy      

"Carry on Spying" is what I would call old school "Carry On", the sort of "Carry On" movie which was made before the name "Carry On" became synonymous with being sex comedies. As such it has a reasonable storyline as it pasti...

Carry on Cleo (1964)

92 mins     Comedy      

Occasionally the brains behind the "Carry On" movies liked to have fun with recognizable characters and historical stories rather than just coming up with something new. One of those movies is "Carry on Cleo" which takes the ...

Carry On Don't Lose Your Head (1966)

90 mins     Comedy      

There is one major problem when you watch the later "Carry on" movies and that is they end up a much of a much ness. Strip away whatever the storyline is supposed to be about and what you are left with is the same old thing, ...

Carry on Screaming! (1966)

97 mins     Comedy, Horror      

For many Sid James epitomised the "Carry On" movies but ironically it is his absence due to illness and Harry H. Corbett stepping in to his part that is one of the reasons why "Carry on Screaming!" is for me one of the better...

Carry on Cowboy (1966)

93 mins     Comedy, Western      

In 1958 there was a comedy western called "The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw" which was about an English gentleman who rolls into the Wild West and through a matter of mistaken identity and confusion ends up becoming sheriff of a ...

Carry on Doctor (1967)

94 mins     Comedy      

"Carry on Doctor" is not one of the better "Carry On" movies but it is one of my favourites because it features all the "Carry On" cast such as Sid James, Barbara Windsor, Jim Dale, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey and the w...

Carry on Follow That Camel (1967)

95 mins     Adventure , Comedy, Romance      

"Carry on Follow That Camel" was originally released as just "Follow That Camel" and that is probably a better title for it. The simple reason is that although it is a "Carry On" movie with many regular faces cast in central ...

Carry On Up the Khyber (1968)

88 mins     Comedy      

In a way "Carry On Up the Khyber" is one of the better "Carry On" movies as the whole thing does revolve around a story not so much derived from the history books but using a period in history as its source. As such we have a...

Carry on Camping (1969)

88 mins     Comedy      

"Carry on Camping" is one of the better known "Carry on" movies but it doesn't actually mean its any good. In fact personally I find "Carry on Camping" one of the weakest and ultimately quite dull as it tries to bring hilarit...

Carry on Again Doctor (1969)

89 mins     Comedy      

"Carry on Again Doctor" is the exception to the rule when it comes to the "Carry On" movies because whilst many of those which were made in the second half of the 60s and 70s were little more than a series of set piece gags t...

Carry on Loving (1970)

88 mins     Comedy      

I don't mind the occassional "Carry On" movie especially when they ply you with sexual innuendo accompanied by a humorous storyline. And that is probably why I have never enjoyed "Carry on Loving" because there is very little...

Carry on Up the Jungle (1970)

89 mins     Comedy      

The best way to describe "Carry on Up the Jungle" is that it is an uneasy pastiche on a series of different movies. It starts as if it is sending up the likes of "Mogambo" with an expedition into the jungle fraught with dange...
