Sid James and Barbara Windsor go out in style in their last Carry On film, based on the legend of Dick Turpin. James plays the notorious highwayman Big Dick Turpin, who disguises himself as the Reverend Flasher to avoid detection. Windsor plays Harriet, a buxom member of his gang, with Kenneth Williams as Captain Fancey, who is charged with capturing Turpin, and Bernard Bresslaw as Sir Roger Daley, head of the Bow Street Runners. Regulars Hattie Jacques, Joan Sims and Kenneth Connor are all present and correct, as are the usual doubles entendres in this Gerald Thomas comedy.
