The first film in the series to feature "Carry On..." regular Jim Dale.
The Glamcabs were a brand new model of car from the Ford Motor Company, the Cortina, and Ford's involvement in the film was, on their part, to promote the new car. Introduced to the market in September 1962, the Cortina became a classic of British Ford, passing through five models over twenty years, before its eventual replacement in 1982 was given a new name, the Sierra.
The last feature film of Esma Cannon.
At the time, Sidney James was starring in the BBC TV comedy Taxi! (1963) with Bill Owen.
"Expectant Father: Are you a taxi? Charlie Hawkins: No. [pointing at the vehicle] Charlie Hawkins: *This* is a taxi. [pointing at himself] Charlie Hawkins: *I'm* a driver. [pointing at Pintpot] Charlie Hawkins: *He's* a learner. [pointing at the expectant father] Charlie Hawkins: And *you're* a twit. Now get out of the way, I'm in a hurry. Expectant Father: No, no, you must help me. It's my wife - she's going to have a baby. Charlie Hawkins: And if I don't get home by seven, mine's gonna have a fit."
"[after Charlie gives her a fur coat] Peggy Hawkins: Oh, Charlie! Oh, it's lovely! Charlie Hawkins: I'll say it is. Genuine mammoth, that is. Peggy Hawkins: Oh, don't be silly, Charlie. Charlie Hawkins: Straight up, it said so on the shop window: "Mammoth fur sale.""
