![]() ![]() Whilst the humour of the Carry Ons may be derided by some as corny or dated, it’s only because the films have endured and established themselves in the British psyche that the jokes now seem so familiar. It’s the brazen cheek of the Carry Ons that makes them so irresistible and their cultural significance should not be underestimated. There’s nothing more British than the Carry On films which follow on from a long comedy tradition that dates back to bawdy music halls and end-of-the-pier saucy postcards. Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Hattie Jacques, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, and Barbara Windsor (Dame Babs) have been given the Art & Hue treatment to create a collection of pop art portraits, also available in three sizes & 16 colours for you to choose from to fit into the design scheme of your home. Based on the first 12 Carry On films, all of the prints come in three sizes and 16 colour options, are available with or without cast billing, with most using (or remixing) the original poster imagery, and some re-imagined. Unlike traditional movie posters which are printed on thin paper with inks which fade, Art & Hue has created fine art print versions of the posters printed on museum-quality archival card of 310gsm, made from 100% cotton, using pigment inks which last lifetimes. And no need to keep calm.ĭelving into the archives at Pinewood Studios, where the Carry On films were originally filmed, Art & Hue has produced the largest collection to date (larger than The Avengers collection) to produce six pop art portraits of the much-loved stars as well as reworked the classic posters of the first 12 films into stylish fine art prints. One of these Carry On prints in a minimal setting would provide an instant lift of retro, Mid-Century style that will make the heart sing.

Yes, longer than James Bond even (007 will need to make another six films to catch up).īefore you decide that Carry On wouldn’t fit into your minimally-styled neutral space, think again.
