He convinces King Ferdinand of Spain (Leslie Phillips) and Queen Isabella (June Whitfield) to finance his trip, and he sets off for points east with a cabin boy in tow. But what Columbus doesn't realize is that his cabin boy is, in fact, a cabin girl. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Brave. Should have been better as the cast was really good and it had the late great Gerald Thomas at the helm! Shame but it?s safe to say Carry On belongs in the past as a fond memory.
