Carry On Abroad

Carry On Abroad (1972) is a British comedy you can watch online on iFILM. A coachload of holidaymakers books four sunny days at Elsbels, a Spanish resort that the brochure swore was paradise.

Reality bites the moment they arrive. The hotel isn't finished, walls are missing, the plumbing soaks the wrong guests, and the entire staff seems to be the same handful of faces in different uniforms. Pile on grey rain instead of sunshine, mismatched couples, a riot brewing at the bar, and foundations that start sinking the wetter it gets. Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, and Barbara Windsor run through the whole catalogue of package-holiday disasters without ever cracking a smile.

This is the twenty-fourth entry in the long-running Carry On series, directed by Gerald Thomas, and it lives entirely on the chemistry of its regular troupe rather than the plot. The humor is broad, saucy, and cheerfully un-PC by today's standards, which is exactly the point for fans of old-school silliness. Stream Carry On Abroad (1972) online on iFILM.
