It's crazy - a dismantled frigate (also a hero in a shirt ) is the eighth film in the series of carry-on ... films . The film is a parody of cloak-and-sword films .

content

In 1805 we are in the middle of the Anglo-Spanish naval war . Captain Fearless has only one wish - a quiet desk post. But unfortunately he gets command of the royal frigate Venus .

The hero of the film, Albert Poop-Decker, has also been assigned to this ship as a midshipman . Unfortunately, his papers and orders are stolen from him in a dive bar and he himself becomes Shanghai - ironically, on his ship, the Venus . Nobody wants to believe that he is a midshipman poop decker because someone else is posing for him. So he has to bite the bullet and toil as a simple sailor . Only the stupid Walter Sweetley, who was also kidnapped, stands by him.

Meanwhile, there is rumbling in the crew and among the officers , as Captain Fearless avoids all engagements , all prospects of fame and booty. A mutiny ensues in the course of which Captain Fearless, poop decker, Sweetley and the fake poop decker, who is actually a woman, leave the ship. Of course, that's not the end of the game, and the four heroes will have a chance to prove themselves.

Remarks

In the first film by the new scriptwriter Talbot Rothwell, you went to Ist ja crazy - the ship's cook is seasick for the second time on a ship, and for the first time you dared to look at historical material, a costume film , with which the series ended at the end should be associated with everything. Rothwell based the script on the Captain Hornblower stories by Cecil Scott Forester .

Originally the film was supposed to be called Carry On Up The Armada , but the censors forced a renaming and suggested Carry On Sailor . However, the producers did not want the film to be confused with Carry On Cruising , so in the end the decision was made for Carry On Jack .

What is striking about this part of the series is that only a comparatively small part of the regular cast ( Charles Hawtrey , Kenneth Williams , Jim Dale ) is used, but many - also quite well-known - guest stars such as Juliet Mills , Donald Houston and Cecil Parker participate. Bernard Cribbins also has his first of three guest appearances in the series in the lead role.
