Judge Burke (Kenneth Williams) is desperate to replace the
newly killed sheriff and so makes an urgent call for a US
marshal to be sent. A marshal is duly dispatched, but only
in name - Marshal P. Knutt (Jim Dale).
Knutt is a plumber and finds himself right up to his neck
in the muck that follows.
Carry On Cowboy is one of the funniest of the series and
the crew do a great job with the accents. There are heaps
of great moments and Charles Hawtrey (you know the really
skinny one) has never been better as Chief Big Heap.
Mind you, a lot of people die - although this tends to amplify
the humour against its semi-serious presentation. The video
transfer is very good, but does have a small number of artefacts,
and the sound is okay.
Conclusion: Movie 70% Extras 20%
