Carry On Dick is a British comedy film released in 1974, directed by Gerald Thomas and produced by Peter Rogers. The film stars Sidney James, Kenneth Williams, Barbara Windsor, and Hattie Jacques in leading roles. It is the 26th film in the Carry On series and is set in the 18th century in the fictional town of Upper Dencher. The film opens with the introduction of Richard 'Dick' Turpin (played by James), a notorious highwayman who poses as a gentleman to evade law enforcement. However, his life takes a turn when he is forced to flee London and seek refuge in Upper Dencher due to a price on his head. Upon arrival, he meets Reverend Flasher (played by Williams), a shifty vicar who conceals his illegal activities under the veil of religious work.

Dick and Flasher soon cross paths with the wealthy Lady Daley (played by Windsor), a widow who seeks a husband for herself and her daughter, Maria (played by Margaret Nolan). The trio embarks on a journey of deceit, deception, and romance, as they navigate their way through various trials and tribulations in Upper Dencher.

In the pursuit of love and fortune, they must overcome several obstacles, including the town's corrupt mayor and the local militia, who are hell-bent on capturing Dick. With his wits and charm, Dick manages to outsmart his enemies and win over the heart of Lady Daley, all while continuing to lead a life of highway robbery.

The film is replete with slapstick humor, witty one-liners, and innuendo-laden jokes, typical of the Carry On series. The performances of the leading cast are remarkable, with Sidney James's cocky swagger and Barbara Windsor's sultry charm stealing the show.

The film's cinematography is noteworthy, with the picturesque English countryside serving as a stunning backdrop for the film's various sequences. The use of vibrant colors and 18th-century costumes adds to the film's aesthetic appeal.

Carry On Dick is a lighthearted, feel-good comedy that offers an entertaining insight into the life of an infamous highwayman. It's a must-watch for fans of the Carry On series and anyone looking for a good laugh.
