Carry On Girls (1974, UK)
A small British seaside resort is losing visitors and the mayor decides to put on a beauty contest to liven up the town's image.
There are plenty of contestants, including the ungainly Bernard Bresslaw who is persuaded to pretend to be a girl. Here (pic) he is getting ready, starting from the foundation course upwards.
The police get to hear about the intended deception and come to the venue. June Whitfield, miscast as Augusta Prodworth, a feminist opponent of the idea of a beauty contest, asks if masquerading as a woman is a legal offence. The policeman ponderously: "Now take this gentleman here [referring to Rosemary, Prodworth's mannish woman assistant] ... he can dress up as a woman if he so wishes."
Prodworth calls for the contest to be stopped, and Bresslaw gets chased round the hotel, helped by a lecherous Admiral (played by Peter Butterworth).
It's all too daft for words really; not one of the top rank of the Carry On films.
