Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

w22nuschler I enjoyed the first two entries more than this one. The third go around has the Carry On crew teaching at a school. They are headed by Kenneth Conner, Kenneth Williams, Hattie Jacques, Joan Sims and Charles Hawtrey. To me, no one stands out in this film like the first two films. Sims character is named "Alcock" which is a little shocking. Couldn't they pick a more decent name for her. Two psychiatrists visit the school to see how well it is being run by the faculty. The man is instantly attracted to Joan Sims when he sees her. I have always had a problem with Joan Sims and Barbara Windsor playing a sexy role. They are not sexy to me at all, and they do not have great shapes, even for the 60's and 70's. I really do like Joan Sims as an actress, but not as a sex symbol. There was a little to much sexual innuendo from the children which I did not care for. I know that is what Carry On became later on, but there is a fine line and I think it was crossed in this entry. It did have a very touching ending like the first one did. The kids sabotage the play in an effort to get the headmaster to stay at the school. He decides to stay in the final scene. Overall it is a slightly above average movie, with a nice ending. Thankfully Sid James would appear in 14 out of the next 19 films. He really gives the films a spark.

petersj-2 The simple story has been well told by others but its enough to say that this movie remembers kids and schools as places quite different from what they are now. I would hate to be a teacher today but way back then it was a different, kinder and nicer world. This is not an hilarious movie but its a charming one. The great Brirtish actors are all there. The stylish Leslie Philips was always the most unlikely actor to be considered a sex symbol but he was always fun to watch. The great Hawtry of course continues to steal every scene he is in. THe others are all there. An extra bonus is Ted Ray who plays the head. This actor was well known to British audiences but quite unknown outside the UK. He gives a beautifully restrained performance and his final scene is very moving. One fine performance in this movie comes from Rosaling Knight as Miss Wheeler. This lovely actress enchanted many a movie. One of those great reliable actresses, we never knew her name but the minute she appeared the screen lit up. The only real jarring note in most Carry on movies was Kenneth Connor. I find his characters annoying and his mumbling was simply irritating back then but now its just woeful. Carry on teaching is not the funniest of films but its full of charm. The itchy powder scene however is great fun and that Romeo and Juliet production is not unlike some school plays we have all endured.This is a sweet innocent movie anda delightful piece of nostagia.

paul-johnson107 I particularly like this carry On, because it looks at something ordinary and makes it funny. Every child goes to school and you get some that play jokes on the teachers and make life a nuisance. Gerald Thomas and Peter Rogers along with Norman Hudis, scriptwriter of this carry on film have picked up on this and turned it into a comedy carry on film.As usual there is the carry On established cast: Kenneth Williams, Kenneth Connor, Hattie Jacques, Joan Sims and Chalres Hawtrey. They are joined by the marvellous Ted Ray, Rosalind Knight and Leslie Phillips. The children are played by the marvellous Richard O Sullivan who is now residing in a retirement home for actors due to illness, Larry Dann who went on to play sergeant Alec Peters in the Bill on ITV1 and Diane Langton who was uncredited.The film is set in Mauldin Street school, a child psychiatrist has been granted permission to do some research for an upcoming book, he is accompanied by the school inspector Felictiy Wheeler (Knight), they are shown the Maudlin Street hospitality NOT when Stevens (Sullivan) discovers Mr Wakesfield acting Headmaster (Ted ray) is planning to leave the school. They play lots of funny stunts in order for him to stay, find out what happens in this hilarious carry on.

gnb The third Carry On film in the series, Teacher still manages to maintain the gentle, clean fun of its predecessors.Many of the favourites are present here (Williams, Hawtrey, Sims, Jacques, Connor) and are well at ease in the roles they would make their own for the next 20 odd years.Kenneth Connor is a delight as the bumbling science teacher who finds himself falling for the prudish school's inspector while Leslie Phillips is as smooth as he ever was as the well-oiled child psychologist. Ding dong!It is interesting to note here that at this early stage, it is Joan Sims who plays the blonde bombshell in the series - a much different role to the screaming, bawdy characters she would play later.To sum up, Teacher is basically a series of set pieces in which the kids of Maudlin Street School, so desperate for their current headmaster not to leave, set about causing havoc so as to create a bad impression for the school inspectors.Of course it's all harmless, St. Trinians meets Greyfriars fun and there's a happy ending too. In all, a great addition to the series.
