Why the "Carry-On" movies belong in the past
So what made these movies so successful? Every Carry-on was filmed at Pinewood studio's under the direction of Gerald Thomas and Producer Peter Rogers, although several writers were used it was Talbot Rothwell and Norman Hudis who were the most notable and Eric Rogers provided the now iconic musical scores. By the time the fourth movie was made "Carry-on Constable" in 1960 many of the regular acting team were in place including Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, Kenneth Conner and Hattie Jacques.
