Director: Gerald Thomas

Summary: The Carry On Gang travel to the Wild West to shoot it out in Stodge City in an attempt to maintain law and disorder, with wicked innuendo and rapid-fire puns.

In CARRY ON COWBOY, a group of lewd and comic characters take the viewer on a hilarious romp through the saloon bars (and bedrooms) of Stodge City in the Old West. The film stars Sid James as the Rumpo Kid; Joan Sims as the luscious Mae West character Belle ("Ding Dong!") and Angela DOUGLAS as Annie Oakley; Jim Dale as the hapless MARSHALL; the inimitable Charlie Hawtrey IS A fire-water guzzling indian Chief BIG heap, with the towering Mr Bresslaw as his Little Heap; and not forgetting Kenneth Williams' moustached Judge BURKE.

Wild West town Stodge City is at the mercy of the ruthless Rumpo
Kid ( Sid James ) . Following the death of hapless Sheriff Albert Earp
( Jon Pertwee ) , Judge Burke ( Kenneth Williams ) puts in a request
for another law enforcer . All he gets is British plumber Marshall P.
Knutt ( Jim Dale ) who , having ridden on the stagecoach with
sharpshooter Annie Oakley ( Angela Douglas ) , is convinced he can
handle a rifle . The Rumpo Kid teams up with the local Indians and
plans to run the new Marshall out of town . Very funny indeed.

Made in the "classic" period of the series, 1966's Carry On Cowboyis a spoof Western set in Stodge City, about to suffer the arrival of black-hatted outlaw The Rumpo Kid, played by the less-than-youthful Sid James. Kenneth Williams is the aptly named Judge Burke, who appeals to Washington for help to combat this gunslinger and his henchmen. Assistance arrives in the form of Jim Dale's Marshall P Knutt, a drainage, sanitation and garbage expert from England, with a reference from Lady Pushing for doing a "good job on her main sludge channel", whose Christian name provokes a predictable misunderstanding. Fortunately, he's accompanied by Annie Oakley. As ever, much fun is to be had cheering/groaning along to double-entendres about "big ones", but never mind the script, feel the characters. Joan Sims does a good Mae West impression; Syd James "Ha hwa-ha-ha!"s his way through his part with his usual aplomb; the underrated Peter Butterworth is excellent as an inept Doctor; while Bernard Bresslaw adds to his impressively multi-ethnic CV, playing a Native American, with Charles Hawtrey as his incorrigible firewater-loving Chief.

On the DVD:No extras, sadly, other than scene selection but Alan Hume's splendidly authentic colour lensing is suitably refurbished here. --David Stubbs
