Revealing mistake: When our heroes are on the conveyor belt which carries the rocks towards the spinning saw blades, the rocks which get cut in two are seen to be cut before they reach the blades. (01:20:45)
Carry on Spying (1964)
Directed by: Gerald Thomas
Starring: Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Bernard Cribbins, Barbara Windsor
Genres: Comedy
Revealing mistake: When our heroes are on the conveyor belt heading towards the saw blades, it's obvious that the conveyor belt on the other side of the blades is just a painted backdrop. (01:20:45)
Visible crew/equipment: In the first shot of our heroes being given their assignment, something, presumably a crew member, can be seen intruding into the frame to the right of Barbara Windsor and casting a shadow on the desk. (00:11:50)
Trivia: This was the first Carry On to cast the fabulous Babs Windsor. Also the last to feature Bernard Cribbins until the making of Columbus in 1992.
Trivia: Albert R. Broccoli, the producer of the James Bond films, objected to the character name "Charlie Bind Agent 006 1/2". Producer Peter Rogers refused to change the name but dropped the agent's code number.
Trivia: The final "Carry On" film shot in black and white.
Doctor Crow: I am Doctor Crow. You are surprised?
Daphne Honeybutt aka Agent Brown Cow: Yes, I am! I expected you to be a man... or a woman.
Desmond Simpkins: Oh, Vienna! Lovely! I've always wanted to see Vienna before I die.
The Chief: With a bit of luck, you'll do both.
