Charles Hawtrey

[deleted]

This was Charlie's last Carry On film because he was sacked from the cast. He was an alcoholic which was affecting his work - he would be late for filming, would be drunk on set and forget his lines. As Kenneth Williams said in his diaries - it was ironic that in his last film Charlie played a drunk (...method acting, perhaps)

oh hello! his trademark line

The whole cast were great in their own way but Charles Hawtrey and Kenneth Williams were by far my favourite.

Kenneth Connor and Peter Butterworth were my close third and fourth favourite...

I didn't care much for the last few carry Ons, i think abroad was the last really good one. I don't think even Charles hawtrey's presence would have improved them much.
