Carry On Jack

Carry on Jack is the eighth movie in the Carry On film series and was released in 1963. Most of the usual Carry On team are missing from this film: only Kenneth Williams and Charles Hawtrey appear throughout. Bernard Cribbins makes the first of his three appearances in a Carry On. Juliet Mills, Donald Houston and Cecil Parker make their only Carry On appearances in this film. Carry on Jack was the second of the series to be filmed in colour and the first Carry On film with a historical setting and period costumes. Carry On Jack is the tale of Albert Poop-Decker, a newly commissioned... Midshipman. The story starts with the death of Nelson who has said that Britain needs a bigger navy with more men. Anton Rodgers played Hardy. Poop-Decker has taken 8½ years and still not qualified as midshipman but is promoted by the First Sealord as England needs officers. He is to join the frigate Venus at Plymouth. Arriving to find the crew all celebrating as they are sailing tomorrow, he takes a sedan chair with no bottom to Dirty Dick's Tavern. Jim Dale and Ian Wilson who plays his father carry the sedan chair.
