Did you know
- TriviaCharles Hawtrey was unable to drive, and was given 1 hour lessons 3 times a day for 3 weeks by Pinewood Studio staff and passed his test on the Friday before filming began.
- GoofsMany, if not most, of the Glamcabs only have two doors, which would make them unsuitable as taxicabs. All scenes involving passengers only used the four-door cabs.

Featured review
The Loneliness of the Long Distance Cabbie
Made in the days when Cortenas were considered exotic; this is an unusual 'Carry On' in that the humour is gentler (Sid James - fresh from a TV series called 'Taxi' - isn't yet the coarse lecher he later specialised in) and the woman more nuanced, possibly because it started life as a non-'Carry On'.
Written under the title 'Call Me a Cab' by Morecombe & Wise's old writers Sid Green & Dick Hills, this was one of the last 'Carry On's in black & white, the last to feature Cyril Chamberlain, Esma Cannon, and the lovely Liz Fraser (unless you count the unspeakable 'Carry On Behind', which I don't), the first to feature Jim Dale and Amanda Barrie and be scored by Eric Rogers (and one of the very few without Kenneth Williams).
