Following on from A Home Of Your Own and San Ferry Anne, this is the third of four Bob Kellet &quot;silent&quot; films of the era. Ronnie Barker is back, with Futtock being a variation of his Lord Rustless character from Hark At Barker (from an early 21st Century viewpoint I find it almost impossible to watch Rustless without seeing Stanley Johnson. Perhaps even Boris).

Despite being presented as the centrepiece of the collection (at least on the Blu-ray set), I&#039;d say the two earlier films charmed me a little more. Compared with the black and white films&#039; early Carry On tone, this feels more like a later Carry On, with lots of cleavage and flashes of bottoms and silly &quot;saucy&quot; antics held together by a thin plot. It&#039;s not bad, though, and perfectly watchable, but let&#039;s just say I was ready for it to end by the time it wrapped up.

Some familiar faces included Michael Hordern (he&#039;ll always be Badger to me); Julian Orchard (a familiar face from his dandy-type characters in a few Carry Ons) and Richard O&#039;Sullivan playing the young boots. I&#039;m fascinated by Richard&#039;s lifetime career taking him from troublemaking kid to swinging young thing (as he is here) to romantic lead to avuncular father figure, and now to elusive retiree.</blockquote>
