Edited sentence: As most of the action takes place at Joan Sims' seafront hotel, comparisons with Fawlty Towers are inevitable - though this film predated that series by two years, many of the regular characters in John Cleese's classic sitcom seem to have their prototypes here, such as the elderly permanent residents played by Peter Butterworth and Joan Hickson.But it remains an enjoyable, entertaining series romp, a nicely cheeky last gasp before the quality began to decline the following year.Carry On Girls was the penultimate Carry On film written by Talbot Rothwell, and it's his last outstanding screenplay for the series, a fast-moving, bawdy farce packed full of snappy banter, falling trousers, slamming doors, failing hotels, pratfalls, slapstick, cross-dressing, randy admirals, punch-drunk bellboys and scantily clad glamour girls.Girls is also rather cruder than previous series entries - still a model of restraint compared to the stupefyingly crass Carry On England or the singularly ill-advised Carry On Emmanuelle, but heavy on semi-nudity, catfights, double-entendres and close-ups of heaving cleavages all the same
