bosley - always thought that was actually Kenneth Williams' line - same camp though, as you might say.

I dont think it was in a Carry On film - it was in Up Pompeii (Frankie's prog on TV).

Nope - It may have been both but seems it was Carry On Cleo first:-
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A744914
It is no coincidence that the BBC series Up Pompeii was written by the Carry On punster-in-chief, Talbot Rothwell. Francis was the ideal man to spout the great Rothwell lines, for even when the women are voluptuous and Frankie has taken all manner of love filters, sex is still something to be done, not for the lust or desire, but because they may as well, as, 'It's bitter out!'.
Rothwell was a man who enjoyed the cheap joke and memorable line, perhaps his shining hour was when he wrote that famous line in Carry On Cleo for a rather fey Julius Caesar, played by a man with gladiatorial campery, Kenneth Williams, 'Infamy Infamy, they've all got it infamy!'

Evelyn Blunt: Not for me, thank you.
Vic Flange: Oh. Don't drink?
Evelyn Blunt: No, I tried it once and didn't like it.
Vic Flange: Smoke?
Evelyn Blunt: I tried it once and didn't like it.
Vic Flange: Strange.
Evelyn Blunt: Not at all, my daughter and I are just the same.
Vic Flange: Your only child, I presume.

Oily. The best line (Though I don't remember the film) was Sid James talking about a cat. When asked the cats name he says; "Cooking Fat. I think thats what she called it".
Someone will know which film.

Alan.
It was "Carry on loving" 1970:
"Why is the cat called Cooking Fat?" "Well that's what it SOUNDS like!"
Now that's a nice subtle line....lovely bit of spoonerism!

sd, zscrooge, i stand corrected. for some reason i had it in my head that it was the late, great mr howard who delivered the line. it's still a cracker of a line. anyway, i always thought the best part of a carry on film was sid james's laugh.
niels, pass the fork 'n' knife, please.

Bos,
I'm sure Frankie Howard did use the line in Up Pompeii - same writer, great line, so it seems possible he used it again.

aldwick - I guess that's why you never got to be Eric's scriptwiter.
Nielsen - I know it's your second language but try and keep up.. "4 candles" is not a spoonerism, it's a pun.
Poor saddoes with nothing better to do on our Sunday mornings! Ah well almost time to take the first run over the lawn with the mower this season.
