The producers of the popular British "Carry On" series aren't going to fix something if it is not broken.

What a Carve-Up!

What a Carve-Up! (1962) more movies like this

directed by Pat Jackson
featuring Kenneth Connor, Sidney James, Shirley Eaton, Dennis Price, Donald Pleasence

The original British title for No Place Like Homicide was What a Carve-Up. This level of sophistication was maintained for the film itself, a horror film parody served up by members of the Carry On gang. There's a wisp of plot about an wealthy recluse who apparently dies, then equally apparently comes to life again to bump off his greedy relatives ...

Director Gerald Thomas and most of the cast and crew that worked in his "Carry On...." series of comedies are all back again in the funny, sometimes slapstick Raising the Wind.
