carry on cruising (1962)


"Anchors away."
Captain Crowther (Sid James) starts his latest cruise with five new recruits to his crew. Five of the most incompetant crew that he is ever likely to meet. To make up for their failings the new crew try to put on a birthday party for the captain that he'll never forget!
The sixth carry on and by this time the series had hit its stride, with an ensemble cast and script formula that was box office gold. But the fact that this was the first of the series to be shot in colour cannot make up for what is essentially one of the weaker offerings.
