Synopsis
In CARRY ON COWBOY, a group of lewd and comic characters take the viewer on a hilarious romp through the saloon bars (and bedrooms) of Stodge City in the Old West. The film stars Sid James as the Rumpo Kid; Joan Sims as the luscious Mae West character Belle ("Ding Dong!") and Angela DOUGLAS as Annie Oakley; Jim Dale as the hapless MARSHALL; the inimitable Charlie Hawtrey IS A fire-water guzzling indian Chief BIG heap, with the towering Mr Bresslaw as his Little Heap; and not forgetting Kenneth Williams' moustached Judge BURKE.

How The west was Lost
The Carry On team finally decided to spoof the Western genre in this little gem of a film. The series was really at it's peak here. The actors are playing characters rather than just turning up as personalities and the story is a fun romp through Western Cliches.
Jim Dale and Angela Douglas are excellent romantic leads but the real stars of the show are Sid James and Joan Sims who really bring the danger and sexiness of their characters to life.
Classy stuff!
This is one of the stand-out Carry-On films for a number of reasons - the amount of location filming done, the funny American twang everyone speaks in, and the perfect spoof on Western life.
Cut long story short, we see Marshal P. Knutt (Jim Dale), a drainage inspector, enter a small town and is immediately mistaken as a 'ranked' Marshall of the U.S Law. The Judge of the town realises that since no-one realises this mistake, P.Knutt should be the Marshall anyway...
Sid James plays 'Rumpo'; the rebell cow-boy of the town who as usual is up to no good. But his antic's aren't being forgotten - The absolutely gorgeous Angela Douglas play's a sassy Cow Girl secretly wants to put a bullet in his back!
The locations are fantastic, as are the sets and costumes. The only thing I've never liked about this film is the ending, which seems a little weak given the build up to the final fight. Never the less, this is a real laugh and even for '66 was a step away from traditional style comedies.
Carry On Cowboy.
From a period when the Carry ons could do no wrong (Screaming, Follow that camel, Up The Khyber) this is hilarious from start to finish. Sends up all of the western cliches with the cast of regulars all on form and putting on their best American accents. Best Carry on? Maybe.
