The Loneliness of the Long Distance Cabbie

Made in the days when Cortenas were considered exotic; this is an unusual 'Carry On' in that the humour is gentler (Sid James - fresh from a TV series called 'Taxi' - isn't yet the coarse lecher he later specialised in) and the woman more nuanced, possibly because it started life as a non-'Carry On'.

Written under the title 'Call Me a Cab' by Morecombe & Wise's old writers Sid Green & Dick Hills, this was one of the last 'Carry On's in black & white, the last to feature Cyril Chamberlain, Esma Cannon, and the lovely Liz Fraser (unless you count the unspeakable 'Carry On Behind', which I don't), the first to feature Jim Dale and Amanda Barrie and be scored by Eric Rogers (and one of the very few without Kenneth Williams).

Anecdotes
Charles Hawtrey was unable to drive, and was given 1 hour lessons 3 times a day for 3 weeks by Pinewood Studio staff and passed his test on the Friday before filming began.

Gaffes
Many, if not most, of the Glamcabs only have two doors, which would make them unsuitable as taxicabs. All scenes involving passengers only used the four-door cabs.
