Audio problem: When Strong is running away from Norah he passes the Sgt. The screams he is making are overdubbed as his mouth isn't moving. (00:57:45)
Trivia: The first film in the "Carry On" series. It had not originally been planned as the start of a movie series, but after its success at the box-office, producer Peter Rogers and director Gerald Thomas set about a further project with "Carry On Nurse" (1959), which was enormously successful. The "Carry On" series of films evolved after that.
Trivia: There was great tension between Bernard Kay and William Hartnell, and Hartnell desperately wanted Kay to be fired from the project.
Captain Potts: Carry on Sergeant.
Gun Sergeant: Looks like you were listening.
Sage: I wasn't listening. I used to work in the factory where they make these things.
