Summary: The legend of Dick Turpin suffers the indignities of the Carry On Gang's treatment.

In CARRY ON DICK, infamous outlaw Dick Turpin (otherwise known as "Big Dick") terrorises the land, running rings around the authorities. Consequently, dimwits Captain Desmond Fancey, Sir Roger Daley, and Sergeant Jock Strapp launch a hilarious attempt at bringing this criminal to justice.

The 18th century, with its frills and bawds, was ideal territory for the Carry Onteam: Carry On Dickis one of the few of the series where one notices the quality of the art direction in intervals between terrible old Talbot Rothwell jokes and the creaking of standard farce moments. Captain Fancy (Kenneth Williams) is sent to the remote village of Upper Denture to arrest Big Dick Turpin (Sid James) and makes the mistake of confiding in the local Rector, the Reverend Flasher (who is Big Dick's secret alter ego). Dick has troubles of his own: his liaison with his housemaid and henchperson Harriet (Barbara Windsor) is perpetually interrupted by his amorous housekeeper (Hattie Jacques). Meanwhile, Joan Sims struts around the plot as the proprietor of a touring show of scantily clad young women. This is not one of the best of the series--a certain mean-spiritedness creeps in to the humour as does the self-conscious awareness that 1974 was a date a little late for some of the more sexist jokes--but any film with Kenneth Williams discussing satin coats with his tailor has something going for it. --Roz Kaveney
