Along with hundreds of thousands of others I was brought up on the Carry On films and while this isn't one per sé, it DOES have links to them by the Director, Writer and several of the actors but this effort I'm afraid was so devoid of real comedy or laughs I had to skip through much of it which was a pity. With Sid James, Lance Percival and Dick Emery all struggling along with Sylvia Sims, Joan Sims, Jim Dale. Derek Guyler and eye candy Edina Ronay. Miss this unless you're very brave or desperate.

Make no bones about it, this is very much a Carry on film, and a very good one at that. When you consider the writer, director and virtually the whole cast, the ingredients are all very much there for a comedy classic. The story is great, the moment where the trio of robbers discover a housing estate built on the site of their I'll gotten gains is brilliant, so funny. It is very well made, well shot, with a terrific script. The usual suspects are great Sid James, Joan Sima etc, but Dick Emery is a joy, and Sylvia Sims is a delight, such a beautiful woman. Loved it. 8/10

Very much like the carry on movies with some well-known characters plus their usual antics. They were up to the task and for viewers it was a nice blast from the past. Thrills galore and this one gets a star rating of 6 in the mix.

Silly story, silly characters ... very watchable. There is no let up in the pace of the dialogue and action throughout and there are many amusing moments. I liked the twist from the Carry On films where the women (Sylvia Syms and Joan Sims) are lusting after the men who are just not interested and too busy planning The Big Job even on their wedding nights - "Are you coming to bed?" "What for?"

This film is made in the great tradition that is `Carry On`. The music shouts Carry On, as do the actors. maybe the movie could have been subtitled `Carry on Nicking`. Sid James as the centre for this production shows the Blueprint for his many performances as what was basically the same character throughout the Carry On series of movies whether it be Henry VIII or Sidney Bliss.

Another homegrown gem from the director (Gerald Thomas ), producer (Peter Rogers) & writer (Talbot Rothwell) of the Carry On movies. This is very similar to those classics as it also has a cast of Carry On regulars such as Jim Dale, Joan Sims & the irrepressible Sid James! After finishing their porridge at her majesties pleasure a gang of crooks attempt to retrieve the loot they hid before being caught. Unfortunately the tree they hid it in is now within the grounds of a police station! They hole up in a neighbouring B&B and so begin many bungled attempts to retrieve it. To make matters worse their fellow lodger is a policeman. D'oh! A top comedy with that must have ingredient, good characters (often lacking from more recent so-called comedy films). A great hour & a half for fans of Carry On. It would be a crime to miss it!

This film about the antics of a group of inept bank robbers is British comedy at its finest. It's Carry-on in everything but name, with regulars such as Sid, Jim Dale and Joan Sims.There are some wonderful performances, but for my money it's Dick Emery who steals the show. I love the part where himself and Sid James have messed up again and are questioned by Jim Dale (the constable) about their antics the previous night. Dick, convinced they've been nobbled, turns to Sid and says "Did you see the look he gave us?It was loaded with handcuffs!"Priceless. This is what REAL comedy is all about and I'm eternally grateful to messrs Thomas,Rothwell and Rogers for providing us with moments like these we can cherish forever.
