    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Valerie Leon was dubbed throughout the entire film by June Whitfield. Although the lip-syncing/ADR, and vocal styling choice of the two character voices June Whitfield uses, along with the sound recording acoustics, makes it hard to tell she's doing two voices, even in the same shot. *Many years later, "Carry On" historian Robert Ross stated, during a DVD commentary, that when asked about it, Whitfield said she had "no recollection" of dubbing Leon's voice for this film.
    • Goofs
      When the girls are fighting in the Hotel Lobby they jump onto a sofa and it falls backwards. The lady seated on the sofa can be seen helping it fall backwards with her foot.
    • Quotes
      • Connie Philpotts: You and a bunch of beauty queens? It's like asking Dracula to be in charge of a blood bank!
      • Sidney Fidler: Now, now, wait a minute, that's not true. You know I don't go for beautiful women: I like you.
      • Connie Philpotts: That does it! Go on! You lecherous so-and-so, go on, *get out*!
    • Alternate versions
      As with many of the Carry On films the cinema version was cut by the BBFC to receive an 'A' (PG) certificate. Some dialogue was replaced, including 'knee trembler' (which was changed to 'snogging') and the fight between Hope and Dawn was reduced to remove shots of Hope attempting to pull Dawn's underwear off. The latter scene was fully restored in later video/DVD releases.
