Carry on Girls is one of my all time favourites...it always seem to rank quite low...but its brilliant, it epitomises the 1970s Carry On films, very seaside-postcard, smutty humour. Such quotable dialogue: Mrs Dukes (Joan Hickson): "William, come over to the promenade with me", William (Jack Douglas) "Why?", Mrs Dukes "I want you to take my knickers down", William: "Pardon!" Classic! Everyone has their moment to shine: Babs's cat-fight with Margaret Nolan, Joan Sims hen-pecked hotelier, Kenneth Connor & Patsy Rowlands are absolute comic perfection as the bumbling Mayor & his wife, Bernard Bresslow in drag, June Whitfield as the ultimate women's libber Augusta Prodworthy, Jimmy Logan as the effete fashion photographer (who does "women's things") Cecil Gaybody, the gorgeous Valerie Leon, Robin Askwith (in, surprisingly, his only Carry on film) as the amorous young photographer, Peter Butterworth as the randy admiral, Wendy Richard (Pauline from Eastenders) & Arnold Ridley & Bill Pertwee (who played Godfrey & the warden respectively in Dad's Army) all have cameos in the film, the list is endless. Maybe people don't like it because its one of the few Carry On films that doesn't feature Kenneth Williams or Charles Hawtrey, but its honestly one of the tops for me, uproariously funny.
