Britain's perennial low-brow favorites, the "Carry-On Gang", take aim at spy films. For those who appreciate the sort of urbane, sophisticated British humor produced by the likes of Sheridan, Wilde, Saki and Noel Coward, this will definitely not be your dish of tea. The "Carry-On Gang" simply don't do that sort of thing, their humor is aimed considerably lower down than that.
Although ostensibly aimed at the then-current James Bond spy films, "Carry On Spying" also takes swipes at other movies of the genre, such as "the Third Man", "Casablanca", "The 39 Steps" and "The Ipcress File". As is usual in this series no source of humor is too low to be plumbed. nevertheless it is all in good fun and it all works surprisingly well.
