Writer and film historian Ian Fryer takes us on a journey into the glorious days of classic British humor, bringing to life the Carry On films and the vibrant, fascinating world of comedy from which they sprang.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis lively and entertaining book presents detailed histories of the thirty-one Carry On films, revealing a cinematic legacy that is often more clever and complex than expected--from the post-war optimism of Carry On Sergeant and Carry On Nurse, via mini-epics such as Carry On Cleo, all the way to the smut-tinged 1970s. Carrying On also turns the spotlight onto the host of other productions the Rogers and Thomas partnership brought to the screen along with detailed biographies of legendary Carry On stars, such as Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, and Barbara Windsor who have brought fun and laughter to millions for decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Fryer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781559066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781559062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fonthill Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Ian Fryer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46489378291967,"sku":"9781781559062","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_702bcb75-fa58-4b98-a78f-049eb79483e7.jpg?v=1736953380","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/carrying-on-ian-fryer-9781781559062","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
