4	->'''Simpkins''': Shoot you? Where?
5	->'''Bind''': In the Schnitzelstrasse.
6	->'''Simpkins''': Ooh, sounds like it might've been very ''painful''.

9	''Carry On Spying'' is a 1963 film and the ninth ''Film/CarryOn'' film, a take on spy flicks (particularly ''Franchise/JamesBond'') and FilmNoir. It stars Creator/KennethWilliams, Creator/BarbaraWindsor (in her first film in the series), Creator/BernardCribbins, Creator/CharlesHawtrey, Creator/EricBarker, and Creator/DilysLaye. Notably this was the last black and white film in the series, and sparked much controversy during production between many film studios because of certain plotlines and names.
10
11	Although claimed to be a ''Franchise/JamesBond'' parody (and in at least some respects marketed as one), it mostly takes plot devices from ''Film/TheThirdMan'' as well as other film noirs. It's the tale Agent Desmond Simpkins (Williams), and his trainees Agents Daphne Honeybutt (Windsor), Charlie Bind (Hawtrey), and Harold Crump (Cribbins) at a supposed SpySchool being reluctantly recruited by the Chief (Barker) to go and search for a missing formula that is said to have been stolen by a villainous company called STENCH, or, the Society for the Total Extinction of Non-Conforming Humans.
12
13	Along the way, they meet master of disguise Agent Carstairs (Creator/JimDale) and mysterious Lila (Laye), who both cause a stir in the story, especially upon the introduction of the Fat Man (Eric Pohlmann) and Dr. Crow (Creator/JudithFurse).
14
15	HilarityEnsues.
16	----
17	!!Tropes Included:
18	* AbandonedWarehouse: After reading a letter from a cigarette packet that was meant for the STENCH agents, Harold, Simpkins, and Bind sneak to a warehouse, thinking that they're going to meet up with Carstairs.
19	* AccidentalPervert: When Daphne faints, Harold follows his CPR training and tries to take off her clothes so that he can balance her body heat. She wakes up in the middle of it and tells him off but eventually relaxes after she's reminded what happened.
20	* TheAce: Carstairs is probably the best BOSH agent there's ever been, however, he's no match for the idiocy of Simpkins' group.
21	* ActionGirl: Lila, who is played off as a damsel in distress at first, but reveals that she is a secret agent for the SNOG agency.
22	* ActorAllusion:
23	** A minor one, in the case of The Fat Man's actor, Eric Pohlmann, who was a waiter in ''Film/TheThirdMan'', Paul in the television adaptation, and did voice acting for Blofeld in ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove''.
24	** Creator/KennethWilliams generally delivered at least a few lines in each ''Carry On'' film in the "Snide" voice he had used in many episodes of ''Radio/HancocksHalfHour'', including the character's catchphrases of "No, don't be like that!" and "Stop messin' about!" In this film, he delivers the entire performance using the "Snide" voice, and the two catchphrases make inevitable appearances.
25	* AdvertisedExtra: Although Carstairs is only a minor character, Creator/JimDale got great attention in the publicity material, which makes sense in hindsight as after this film, Dale would consistently be a star and mostly get third or fourth billing.
26	* AffectionateParody: Of ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'' mostly, as well as other James Bond films before it, along with ''Film/TheThirdMan''.
27	* AgentsDating: Daphne and Harold start to show feelings for each other after Daphne gets drugged in a restaurant by a STENCH agent disguised as a waiter.
28	* AllThereInTheScript: We don't get to know Simpkins' first name, but the back of the DVD in "The Classic ''Film/CarryOn'' Film Collection" boxset gives it as "Desmond".
29	* AmbiguousGender: Dr Crow, the head of STENCH is part of a race of new super-humans embodying the strengths of both men and women while not being wholly one or the other.
30	-->'''Dr Crow:''' I am Doctor Crow. You are surprised?
31	-->'''Daphne Honeybutt:''' Yes, I am! I expected you to be a man... or a woman.
32	* AnachronismStew: The British sentries are armed with [=MP40=] sub-machine guns, which weren't used by the British at the time, but rather the German Army during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.
33	* AndAnotherThing: As with ''Film/CarryOnJack'' (however, this time, the man is ''actually'' dying), [[ActorAllusion Harold and Bind]] mishear a dying Milchmann, so he briefly comes back to life to correct them, before dying for real.
34	* BettyAndVeronica: A downplayed one with Harold (Betty) and Bind (Veronica, albeit a subverted, idiotic one) to Daphne's Archie. Bind, being the James Bond expy, is the complete opposite of the character he's a reference to, but had no chance with Harold being in the way (and being much smarter than him) anyway.
35	* BigBad: Dr. Crow.
36	* BondJamesBond: Since he's supposed to be a parody of James Bond (an idiotic parody, to be specific), it's unsurprising that Charlie Bind[[note]]His name was supposed to be James Bind, but the James Bond movie series lawyers were against it[[/note]] has this as an introduction to Simpkins.
37	-->'''Charlie Bind:''' Name's Bind.
38	-->'''Desmond Simpkins:''' James?
39	-->'''Charlie Bind:''' No, Charlie. Charlie Bind. Double 0-Oh.
40	* BookEnds: Simpkins' first and last scenes involve him emerging from the safe in the Director of BOSH's office.
41	* BridgeBunnies: Female STENCH agents in their headquarters walk past Simpkins's team as they're shown around. Bind [[EatingTheEyeCandy can't stop leering and making sexual jokes about them under his breath]].
42	* TheCallsAreComingFromInsideTheHouse: Used as {{foreshadowing}}. When Dr. Crow threatens [=MI6=] in a phone call, the Chief of Police makes his secretary trace the call, who discovers that the phone number is identical to theirs, making the two men assume that their technology wasn't strong enough for the signal. It's revealed that STENCH's lair is directly underneath [=MI6=] and can be easily accessed through the wardrobe in the Chief's office.
43	* TheChanteuse: Lila, the nightclub singer that Simpkins later meets on the train, making him suspicious.
44	* ColorfulThemeNaming: The hired agents' codenames.
45	** Simpkins -- codename Red Admiral.
46	** Daphne -- codename Brown Cow.
47	** Bind -- codename Yellow Peril.
48	** Harold -- codename Blue Bottle.
49	* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: Bind is wearing one once the group leaves the restaurant, probably because was in a cyclist disguise and wanted to keep warm.
50	* ConveyorBeltODoom: [[spoiler:Simpkins' group gets stuck on STENCH's factory conveyor belt, which leads to a welding room and a furnace.]]
51	* CrazyJealousGuy: Harold becomes suspiciously protective of Daphne throughout the movie, especially when it comes to going into the fun-house in Algiers, to the point of disguising as a dancer with her.
52	* DeepCoverAgent: [[spoiler:Lila, who spends her first appearance as a travelling restaurant entertainer and points a pistol to Dr. Crow's head when they're torturing Simpkins' gang.]]
53	* DeliveryGuyInfiltration: Milchmann's job at the beginning of the movie. It stumps BOSH, who wonder how a terrorist act could get past the security.
54	* DenOfIniquity: The Algiers funhouse.
55	* DisguisedInDrag:
56	** One of Carstairs' disguises is a [[BuxomBeautyStandard big-breasted]] prostitute.
57	** Harold when he attempts to steal the formula from the distracted Fat Man with Daphne.
58	* TheDitz: Daphne is in a way, but shows more common sense than leader Simpkins and supposed "hero" Charlie Bind.
59	* DoorRoulette: In a hotel, Simpkins opens a wardrobe door in the middle of a conversation, notices that a woman is in there, and slams it shut after apologising. He does a DoubleTake, opens the door, and discovers that the woman isn't there.
60	* TheDoorSlamsYou: In the restaurant, Carstairs is close to stealing the secret formula from Milchmann, but meets this fate by the power of Simpkins.
61	* DumbBlonde: Daphne is a downplayed version, but shows much more common sense than supposed heroes Charlie Bind and Desmond Simpkins.
62	* EatTheEvidence: Simpkins forces Bind to eat the formula sheet on the train before the STENCH agents could catch up with them. To make it less obvious, the group share out bowls of soup to eat in case they get caught in the act.
63	* ElaborateUndergroundBase: STENCH headquarters, as it turns out. [[spoiler:Strange, considering it's underneath BOSH, and all we see of BOSH is the Director's office.]]
64	* EveryoneKnowsMorseCode: In prison, Harold knocks against pipes to contact a prisoner that might be sitting next door. When the prisoner next door taps back, Bind translates the tapping as "Stop that tapping! I'm trying to sleep!"
65	* EvilGloating: Dr. Crow phones the Director of BOSH to boast about bombing a research lab.
66	* EvilInc: STENCH (the '''S'''ociety for the '''T'''otal '''E'''xtinction of '''N'''on-'''C'''onforming '''H'''umans), who steal a drug.
67	* FakeBoobs: When Carstairs disguised as a prostitute, he uses basketball-sized fake breasts.
68	* FemalesAreMoreInnocent: Daphne, who asks the group what a fun-house is.
69	* FemmeFatale: Nightclub singer Lila is supposed to be this, but only gets the chance to flirt with Simpkins once when they're on the train.
70	* FemmeFataleSpy: Daphne is probably a minor version of this. [[spoiler:Double agent Lila is this, though.]]
71	* FilmNoir: The movie has elements of the tropes in this trope, not to mention the DeliberatelyMonochrome.
72	* {{Foreshadowing}}: This film contains a rather clever example from a film series which generally places little emphasis on narrative. When STENCH leader Dr. Crow calls the Director of BOSH at the beginning of the film to taunt him about the theft of the formula, the Director orders the call traced, and the number comes back Whitehall 66066. The Director realizes that is their own number and assumes the trace has failed. [[spoiler:It turns out the STENCH base is directly below the headquarters of British Intelligence; at the end of the film, Simpkins and his team emerge from a secret exit in the safe in the Director's office in which Simpkins had been locked at the beginning of the film.]]
73	* FunWithAcronyms:
74	** STENCH (the Society for the Total Extinction of Non-Conforming Humans)
75	** SNOG (the Society for the Neutralisation Of Germs).
76	--->'''Simpkins:''' ''[upon being invited to join SNOG at the end of the film]'' Ooh, yes! I've always wanted to do a bit of [=SNOGgin=]'!
77	** BOSH (British Operational Security Headquarters).
78	** SMUT (the Society for the Monopoly of Universal Technology).
79	* GainaxEnding: A bizarre one in itself. [[spoiler:After eventually making Dr. Crow surrender, the agents (and Lila) use an elevator, which leads them to the office of the Director of BOSH, where the Director of BOSH and Carstairs are fretting. Simpkins reassures them that Dr Crow has been arrested, and that STENCH has been detonated because he pressed a button to self-destruct the place. Upon realising that STENCH's headquarters is ''directly underneath'' BOSH, Simpkins immediately realises what he's done, and there is an explosion, filling the room with smoke, ending the movie. It's not clear whether BOSH has been blown sky high as well or whether anyone had a chance of making out alive.]]
80	* GenreBlindness: After Daphne reads out the STENCH secret message to Simpkins' group (see the ReadingTheEnemysMail section below), the table are immediately given martinis (by a STENCH agent disguised as a waiter) that are "compliments from the kitchen", and no one sees it as suspicious, choosing to celebrate on their first task being so-called completed. Unsurprisingly, the drinks are drugged this time (see the SlippingAMickey section below).
81	* GoingByTheMatchbook: The group read a message for STENCH agents from a matchbox in the nightclub, thinking that it is from Carstairs.
82	* HeroOfAnotherStory: Carstairs is clearly a James Bond {{expy}} who would normally be the hero. Unfortunately for him, he's in a parody.
83	* HisNameIs: Milchmann's howls of pain when Simpkins' group find him parody this trope when the group assumes the groaning is the name of his leader.
84	* HumanDoorstop: Simpkins stands on Bind so that he can open the warehouse window.
85	* IdiotHero: Simpkins and Bind, although they're portrayed as better than Harold and Daphne.
86	* IMeantToDoThat: Harold tries to break into a warehouse where STENCH agents are waiting, presuming that Carstairs will be there to give his team a message. He pulls at the door handle, rests his foot on the side ... and falls into the warehouse. He stands up, adjusts himself, and awkwardly looks out to the non-existent crowd watching.
87	* InNameOnly: Charlie Bind is ''nothing'' like the [[Film/JamesBond agent he's meant to be]] in this movie's universe. Instead of being a womanizer that gets the job done, Charlie has [[MummysBoy mommy issues]], is incompetent when he's not around his teacher Simpkins (who's equally as incompetent), and is {{genre blind\|ness}}. He doesn't even [[DidNotGetTheGirl get with Daphne]] or any foreign women on the team's travel, despite being a man who's probably in his early twenties.
88	* InconsistentSpelling: Creator/KennethWilliams' character's name has been spelt both "Sim'''p'''kins" and "Simkins" on many different occasions.
89	* IncrediblyConspicuousDrag:
90	** Carstairs' prostitute disguise, which wouldn't have been too bad if not for the giant FakeBoobs.
91	** Harold tries to pass himself off as a belly dancer, despite his obviously male physique.
92	* IronicNickname: Bind's code-name is "Yellow Peril", which is a racist phrase for the threat/fear of Eastern Asians, but he's obviously not Asian and he's not a threat to anyone.
93	* IveGotAnXAndImNotAfraidToUseIt: Bind threatens STENCH agents on the train that he's got a pistol, but his trousers fall down instead.
94	* LastSecondWordSwap: Upon first meeting Harry, Daphne, and Bind, Simpkins consistently addresses them as "men". Harry politely points out that Daphne is a woman, making the use of the term "men" seem inapt, but Simpkins points out that as far as the espionage business is concerned, there is no difference between men and women, as they all take the same risks, they all eat the same food, and use the same... password (no, not bathroom, which is what he seems about to say).
95	* MacGuffin: The formula sheet.
96	* MissionControl: The Director of BOSH and his partner Cobley become this, even though they appear in this briefly when Simpkins' team go to Algiers.
97	* MummysBoy: Bind is seen writing a letter to his mother before he holds back the STENCH spies on a train.
98	* NewcomerSavesTheDay: Even though new recruits Harold, Daphne, and Bind are almost as incompetent as their more experienced superior, Simpkins, they end up foiling STENCH's plot and delivering Doctor Crow into the hands of British Intelligence by sheer luck.
99	* NiceGuy: Harold and Daphne. The other two in the group are both smug, condescending and terrible secret agents.
100	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Too many times to count when it came to Simpkins and/or his students. It was enough to irritate (and later hospitallise) Carstairs.
101	* NiceJobFixingItVillain: If Dr. Crow hadn't boasted to the enemy that a research lab had been bombed, BOSH wouldn't have intervened, and the STENCH plan would've run smoother and quicker.
102	* NonFatalExplosions: Milchmann's delivery, in which he chooses to stand in the same lab with the exploding milk directly behind the scientist adds the liquid to his experiment. The entire building nearly blows up, resorting to the department of the explosion's source.
103	* OhCrap: [[spoiler:When Simpkins realises that he's not only self-destructed STENCH's headquarters, but BOSH as well.]]
104	* TheOner: The opening scene contains a tracking shot of Milchman going through several doorways.
105	* OrientExpress: Simpkins suspects that STENCH agents would be on the plane waiting for his team that's travelling back to England, so the group takes the train. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard And so did the STENCH agents]]...
106	* OvertOperative: No matter how much the four newcomers try to be secretive, the STENCH agents know where they are.
107	* PaperThinDisguise: Carstairs wears a lot of these in order to relay messages to the four newcomers. Half of them are too obvious to be convincing, yet the newcomers don't recognise him when he holds the Fat Man at gunpoint in the fun house. Naturally, he is unarmed and knocked unconscious by the group.
108	* ParodyNames: Several, from James Bond films to film noirs. See the ShoutOut section of this page for more information.
109	* PhotographicMemory: Daphne Honeybutt literally has one. Her eyelids can make a camera shutter noise as she "photographs" important documents to commit them to memory.
110	* PlotHole:
111	** The formula must be kept at -300°C, despite the fact that nothing can be colder than -273.15°C.
112	** Harold is neat and clean after leaving the sewer despite the fact.
113	** When the train brakes suddenly, the background still shows the train moving, and also in the same scene Simpkins claims that pulling a train's emergency brake cable is a £10 fine, when at the time it was only a £5 fine.
114	* PoliceAreUseless: Unintentionally invoked by the Director of BOSH, who hires the worst and most inexperienced secret agents to solve the case.
115	* PortalDoor: [[spoiler:The cupboard in BOSH's head office, which leads to STENCH's headquarters.]]
116	* PubliclyDiscussingTheSecret: Simpkins threatens his group to be anonymous in the restaurant, but being ... [[IdiotHero how]] [[{{Hypocrite}} he is]], he immediately breaks cover when the waitress shows him around the table by sitting with Harold and Daphne and they loudly discuss what they've discovered, within earshot of all the STENCH agents nearby.
117	* PunnyName:
118	** Daphne's codename is part of the pronunciation phrase "how now brown cow".
119	** Harold's codename is basically a type of fly.
120	** STENCH agent Milchmann's name is German for "milkman", and this is how he disguises himself to steal the formula from BOSH.
121	* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The heroes come across as this. The idiotic self-centered Simpkins, the absent-minded so-called "hero" (considering how he's named after Franchise/JamesBond) Bind, the decent-but-ditzy Daphne and the OnlySaneMan Harold.
122	* ReadingTheEnemysMail: In the restaurant, Simpkins loudly moans about how the cigarettes that a waitress is trying to sell him are probably drugged by STENCH agents and picks a packet of cigarettes that contains the message that was meant to be shared between the STENCH members. When Daphne reads it to the table, she suggests that it's a message from Carstairs as the room fills with STENCH agents facepalming and frowning.
123	* RightUnderTheirNoses: The headquarters of the evil S.T.E.N.C.H organisation is right under the headquarters of the British Secret Service where the spies started their mission. After the ElaborateUndergroundBase blows up, the heroes take the elevator to the surface and emerge from a closet in DaChief's office.
124	* {{Ruritania}}: Algiers where Simpkins' team go to look for the Fat Man.
125	* ShakingTheRump: Our heroes are taken to the villain's ElaborateUndergroundBase, which is full of catsuited females bustling about.
126	-->'''Dr Crow''': This is our headquarters.
127	-->'''Charlie Bind''': Looks more like hindquarters to me!
128	* ShoePhone: Simpkins's group have different household items to talk to each other with. Simpkins has a watch, Daphne has a purse, and Harold uses a toy snake.
129	* ShoutOut:
130	** One will find that most of the conventions are from FilmNoir, from the cigarette packet in the nightclub having a message inside it, to Creator/DilysLaye as the {{femme fatale}}, who doesn't actually get many chances to flirt and mostly spends time trying to get away from the protagonists because of how obnoxious and incompetent some of them are.
131	** Harold's codename "Bluebottle" comes from a character from ''Radio/TheGoonShow''.
132	** The Fat Man being Film/TheThirdMan (however, it can also be argued that his name is also a shout-out to Film/TheThinMan).
133	*** Other nods to ''The Third Man'' include characters emerging from manhole covers, the Café Mozart meeting place and the subtle inclusion of a cuckoo clock.
134	** Most of the movie is filled with Franchise/JamesBond and other spy flicks references.
135	*** Charlie Bind = James Bond. Was originally "James Bind", but copyright wouldn't allow it.
136	*** Dr Crow being Film/DrNo.
137	*** The acronyms based on a variety of organizations from the series, mostly SPECTRE and SMERSH.
138	*** Daphne Honeybutt's surname is based on the name Honeychile Rider from ''Dr. No'' as well.
139	*** The fight on the train being straight from ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove''. And let's not forget the poster. At one point, Carstairs has a watch containing a garrotte wire like Red Grant.
140	*** This movie shares many similar story threads from ''Film/TheLivingDaylights'' (ironically before the film was made twenty years later), such as the locations the characters go and the plot point of exploding milk bottles.
141	** Eric Pohlmann and Creator/JohnBluthal's roles were intended to be the comic answer to Creator/SydneyGreenstreet in ''Film/{{Casablanca}}'' and Creator/PeterLorre in ''Film/TheMalteseFalcon1941''.
142	** Simpkins says "Stop messing about!" at one point, which was a Creator/KennethWilliams catchphrase from the popular ''Series/HancocksHalfHour''.
143	** Characters emerging from the Director of BOSH's cupboard [[spoiler:after using an elevator in STENCH's headquarters]] as if they were coming from another world. [[Literature/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe Hmmm...]]
144	* SlippingAMickey: When Simpkins and his team gather in the restaurant in Vienna, the STENCH agents are expecting them (they have even reserved a table for four British spies) and offer them a tray of four champagne cocktails, compliments of the house. Simpkins, however, tells his agents not to drink them as they might be drugged... and he proceeds to "test" all four of them by drinking every last one. As it turns out, they're not drugged, but a second tray of champagne cocktails is brought over moments later, and Daphne takes one sip from her glass, gasps, and falls unconscious.
145	* SomethingPerson: The Fat Man.
146	* SpyCatsuit: The STENCH workers wear them in the base.
147	* SpySchool: The film is supposed to be set in one, in which incompetent agent Desmond Simpkins gives a minimal amount of training to three new recruits, the enthusiastic but awkward Harold Crump, the eager yet naive Daphne Honeybutt, and the clumsy Charlie Bind.
148	* StealthInsult:
149	-->'''Desmond Simpkins:''' Oh, Vienna! Lovely! I've always wanted to see Vienna before I die.\
150	'''BOSH Director:''' With a bit of luck, you'll do both.
151	* SurroundedByIdiots: The Director of BOSH.
152	* SuspectIsHatless: Simpkins asks the Director for information about The Fat Man. All he and the team are given is that The Fat Man is [[CaptainObvious an obese male]].
153	* {{Tagline}}: "They're at it again - O.O.Oh!".
154	* TapOnTheHead: Simpkins knocks out a guard at the funhouse with a large basin.
155	* TooDumbToLive: If there wasn't any of these characters in the movie, the plot probably wouldn't have happened.
156	** Specifically, Desmond Simpkins, whose NeverMyFault attitude and claims of brilliance makes him {{genre blind\|ness}} when the team goes to different locations to solve the case, meaning that they go around and trust every stranger they meet. Not to mention, if he ''did'' know who Carstairs was, he should've told the team to look out for specific facial features and mannerisms in case he was in disguises, which wouldn't've lead to Carstairs getting injured. [[spoiler:Also, he even self-destructs the villain's lair and killed everyone in BOSH's headquarters as well. [[GainaxEnding Or not.]]]]
157	** BOSH's headquarters as well, for not having tighter security. The German STENCH agent, disguised as the milkman, easily walked through the front doors and into the laboratory where he stole a formula and blew up the building.
158	* TuxedoAndMartini: Carstairs. Through no fault of his own, his work is rendered completely ineffectual because of the comedic incompetence of the main characters.
159	* WardrobeMalfunction: This happens to Bind when he tries to stop the enemy on the train journey back to the airport. It works though -- it does stall them for a long enough time to get Simpkins two carriages down.
160	* WeDoNotKnowEachOther: Simpkins reminds Harold and Daphne that "mum's the word" and they don't know each other, but when being shown around by a waitress that points to a table on the other side of the room, Simpkins immediately spots Harold and Daphne, snapping at the waitress that he shouldn't be sitting by strangers because "we don't know each other". Regardless, once the waitress walks out, Simpkins sits at his apprentices' table.
161	* WhamLine: In Algiers, Simpkins' group follow the Fat Man to a building named a "fun-house", leading the men of the group to make several snide remarks and in-jokes in front of a clueless Daphne. When she asks them what happens in a "fun-house", the men briefly go quiet and change the subject.
162	* WritingAroundTrademarks: This was the plan for Charles Hawtrey's character, who was originally named [[Franchise/JamesBond James Bind]], but legal objections forced them to change the character's name to Charlie Bind (although Simpkins does ask if his name is James when he first introduces himself as "Bind").
163	* YouHaveFailedMe: The Fat Man is threatened with this.
164	* YourMom: When trying to rescue Harold and Daphne from inside the funhouse, Bind is told by Simpkins to insult the doorman's father in order to get the door open. When Bind does, the doorman thinks it was a description and offers to let the two men who knew his father inside, but Bind refuses, claiming that he should "come out here and hear what I have to say about your mother".
