Carry On Cowboy

Carry On Cowboy (1965) is a British comedy western you can watch online on iFILM. Director Gerald Thomas drops the trademark English farce into the Old West, where the lawless Rumpo Kid and his gang have Stodge City pinned down and terrified.

Help arrives in the unlikely shape of Marshal P. Knutt — a sanitary engineer who gets mistaken for a gunfighting marshal. He has never fired a pistol in his life, but he can dig a drain and lay a sewer. Sidney James plays the smirking outlaw, Kenneth Williams a pompous judge, and Jim Dale the bumbling "lawman" whose only real backup is a plumbing diploma and Annie Oakley, out for revenge with a rifle.

This is the sixteenth entry in the long-running Carry On franchise, the saucy seaside-postcard humour that kept British cinemas laughing for three decades. The joke lands every time the showdown turns slapstick. Best enjoyed by anyone with a soft spot for daft, unpretentious old-school comedy. Stream Carry On Cowboy (1965) online on iFILM.
