Carry On Admiral (1957)
Director: Val Guest
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Adaptation of an antiquated stage farce by Ian Hay and Stephen King-Hall, about a drunken mix-up which results in a sea-going naval officer (Reece) and a parliamentary private secretary (Tomlinson) inadvertently switching places and duties. Not in the Carry On series, though the larks are as witless.Author: TM
