[edit] Plot Summary
Pub landlord Vic Flange (Sid James) hopes to take his girlfriend Sadie Tomkins (Barbara Windsor) away for a dirty weekend in the Mediterranean, but his plans backfire when his wife (Joan Sims) insists on coming along too. Together they are just three of the holiday-makers on Stuart Farquhar's (Kenneth Williams) 'Wundatours' package trip to the resort of Elsbels. Things start to go wrong when the group arrives at Pepe's (Peter Butterworth) unfinished hotel, spend a night in prison and find themselves drinking too much of the local "Liquora de l'amora".
[edit] Trivia
The Spanish town seen in the film was a standing exterior set at Pinewood Studios. It can also be seen in The Goodies' episode "Movies".
This was Charles Hawtrey's last Carry On appearance. He was fired from the series because of his excessive drinking, which makes his character here - an alcoholic mummy's boy - all the more poignant.
The cast never left the UK when making this film; the beach was the Pinewood car park.
The technical advisor for the film is listed in the credits as Sun Tan Lo Tion.
[edit] Memorable Quotes
Mr. Farquhar: My name is Stuart Farquhar.
Pepe: Stupid what?
Mr. Farquhar : Stuart! Stuart Farquhar.
Vic Flange: I think he was right the first time!
Another memorable quote comes at the dinner table when Vic Flange (Sid James) and Cora his wife (Joan Sims) are seated with Mr and Mrs Blunt (Kenneth Connor and June Whitfield). Vic offers Mrs Blunt a glass of wine:
Mrs Blunt: I don't drink. I tried it once and didn't like it.
Vic Flange : Smoke? [offering a cigarette]
Mrs Blunt: I tried it once and didn't like it.
Vic Flange (to Cora): Strange.
Mrs Blunt: Not at all, my daughter is exactly the same.
Vic Flange: Your only child, I presume?
