The Carry On Films feature several fights and near fights. In Carry on Cowboy we see Angela Douglas and Joan Sims both showing cleavage. Have the classic start to a catfight. After exchanging verbal insults they lock together, breasts against breasts, struggling and trying to grab hair. In a film of 1959 Carry okn Teacher. , Joan Sims is again a protagonist. Playing a slightly tipsy games mistress she confronts a school inspector played by Rosalind Knight. Joan wants to fight. Theprim and proper Rosalind might have taken flight but instead pushes her sleeves above her elbows and glares at Joan. The are kept seperate unfortunately but there is a nice photo on line showing Joan and Rosalind facing off ready to fight.
The best of the scraps came in Carry on Camping. We see the common room of a girls school. We hear a commotion and shouting from inside the room and find Barbara Windsor and Anna Karen fighting with other excited girls shouting them on. Both have short skirts and the fight includes loads of leg and underwear being displayed. Like the Sims Douglas fight it is interupted. A girl rushes in to warn of the arrival of a teacher. Opening the door she finds a room of total serenity. Delighted she leaves with the instruction to Carry on, not noticicing the deserved appearance of the girls standing next to each other who have blouses pulled out of skirt#. As the door clicks shut Barbara and Karen jump at each other to the cheers of the watching girls.
They were obviously played for laughs but various aspects of their fights were thrilling.
