"Carry On favourite Barbara Windsor makes her debut in this outrageous send-up of the James Bond movies.  Fearless agents Desmond Simpkins (Kenneth Williams) and James Bind (Charles Hawtrey), aided and abetted by the comely Agent Honeybutt (Barbara Windsor) and Agent Crump (Bernard Cribbins), battle against the evil powers of international bad guys STENCH and their three cronies, Dr Crow, Milchmann and the Fat Man.  From the heat of the Casbah to the elegance of the Orient Express, the Carry On team pursue STENCH to the bitter end!"
 

The Story

Carry on Bond! Desmond Simpkins, master spy (well, almost), aided by 3 extra special agents, takes on the mighty STENCH organisation. The trail leads them all over the world and from one disaster to the next

   

 

Comments

An obvious parody of the James Bond series, this Carry On excels on every level. As a Bond spoof, there's plenty of espionage and intrigue; as a Carry On, many of our favourites are in it, and the script really shines. Certainly one of the finer films in the series, it is made all the more memorable by the first appearance of Barbara Windsor.
