* EnsembleDarkHorse: While many reviewers and fans alike often claim that most of the cast look either bored or tired throughout the film, Mildred Bumble, is widely seen as one of the film's funniest characters thanks to Creator/PatsyRowlands' deadpan performance, the fact it was her biggest role in the series to date, and her wonderful chemistry opposite Creator/KennethConnor.

** For the first time since ''Film/CarryOnRegardless'', someone other than Creator/HattieJacques is cast as the Matron character. Creator/BrendaCowling does a fine job in her one scene, but one can only think of how Jacques would have performed the role.

* QuestionableCasting: The manly Scotsman Creator/JimmyLogan as the camp, lisping, limp-wristed Cecil Gaybody. When you learn that he was a late replacement for Creator/CharlesHawtrey (who was fired) and Creator/KennethWilliams (who was unavailable), it makes the dodgy choice of actor make more sense.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Throughout the film, the main two forces opposing Sid's schemes are his girlfriend, Connie, and Mrs. Prodworthy's Women's Lib group. Despite the fact it seems logical that Connie would join the Women's Libbers at one point, she does nothing of the sort and has no role in Sid's downfall aside from stealing the ticket money for the Miss Fircombe Contest, which didn't affect Mrs. Prodworthy's sabotage efforts, "Operation Spoilsport", in the slightest.
