Michael Bean: Out with it, what's your objection? Come on, let's have all of it, come on let's have it!
Edwin Milton: Alright it's already my herculian task to coax anything like audability from these children, if, in addition, I have to cope with an orchestra that makes a lullaby sound the climax to 1812.

Good Bye, Mr. Chips?, 17 June 2004
Author: richard.fuller1

The third film in this Carry On series was funnier than the previous two, or I am now getting the hang of who "the core" cast members may be.

The plot seemed simple enough, then took a very different twist just toward the end.

Humor-wise, the staff getting drunk was pretty good and that class discussion with Williams did have me laughing and rewinding back ("the girl who lives just down the road from us!")

With still no idea what to expect from the rest of these Carry Ons, it seems to me after three films that there is to be two romances in each films. I suspect that will change eventually.

Best thing I have seen thus far of Carry On was when everyone was hugging at the end of "Teacher" because the headmaster wouldn't be leaving and Williams, Jacques and Hawtrey all hug, each man giving her a kiss in between them.

They all stepped away and Jacques moved to the back.

The two men then came forward again for a very passionate embrace and upon realizing Jacques wasn't with them, they separated and Hawtrey gave Williams such a slap.

Nice fun and a nice perspective on school and education in film, especially this close to "Blackboard Jungle".
