Carry On, Constable (1960)
Directed by: Gerald Thomas
Starring: Kenneth Williams, Sid James, Kenneth Connor, Eric Barker
Genres: Comedy
Visible crew/equipment: At the end of the film when the four trainee constables find the villains hideout in the derelict house, PC Potter falls from the landing to the hallway. You can see the mattress put there for him to land on. It was not there in the previous shot.
Other mistake: Early in the film Sgt Wilkins goes into Inspector Mills' office leaving Thurston dealing with the public at the counter. When Wilkins comes out of the office, exactly the same dialogue is repeated by Thurston and a man making a complaint about dangerous driving .
Trivia: When Charles Hawtrey gets out of bed and steps in his chamber pot it starts rolling around on the floor and he tells it to be quiet. He was not meant to say it, he just improvised.
Trivia: Lucy Griffiths' voice for the film was dubbed by Marianne Stone.
