I wasn't sure if Carry On Cowboy was going to be English tourists to the American west or not.
Well, it wasn't. I wanted to compare it to the Doctor Who episode "The Gunfighters" but to tell the truth, that wouldn't be fair.
This was actually good. No reason why the American accent, western or otherwise, should be difficult for these skilled masters of the language to duplicate.
Kenneth Williams was lost however in his mayor. Shockingly interesting to see him delivering such a performance, but they should have done more like Carry On Cleo and allowed the caricatures they portrayed to still shine through.
Or better yet, do some mock-up of the dialects like "Allo, Allo" used to do.
Then it was extremely funny for Hawtrey to not attempt anything different when doing the native chief.
As an American, I can point out one cliche that was inaccurate. When Williams was shocked at the dancehall girls. That was always a man of the cloth, never a politician. But then I suppose he was sticking to the Kenneth Williams' Carry On persona, wasn't he?
Sid James really surprised me with his western speech. I was waiting for some "oy" or "look 'ere, mate" to slip out, but either it never did or I wasn't paying attention.
Jim Dale looks like Michael Palin. That was half who I thought it was when he was in "Carry On Spying".
And then there was that monster of a scene-stealer again, the soothsayer from "Carry On Cleo" this time as the sheriff. What a talent this underrated fellow, Jon Pertwee, was.
Best known for a sci fi tv show, a good one, yes, but still.
As I sit with just one more "Carry On" that I possess on DVD to review (I've already watched it), I can say that for some odd reason "Carry On Teaching" was my fave, perhaps because it was the first one that hit me funniest and raised my expectations, whether they were met or not, I can honestly say I didn't know what to expect here.
Well, on to the last Carry On film in this set: Carry On Screaming.
