[Bounci]

This week's video is from the UK film The Big Job (1965), starring Sid James, Dick Emery and Lance Percival as three crooks who rob a bank but get caught after hiding the loot and are jailed for 15 years. Getting out, they set out to find the money where they have hidden it, only to discover that since they've been inside a big housing estate has been built and the money is in a tree in the garden of the local Police Station! It's a great film, in the style of the Carry Ons, and naturally with a film featuring Sid James he gets to pat a woman's backside (he really must of loved his day job - maybe he had it drawn into his contract?).

The lady in question on the receiving end is Sylvia Syms, here playing his devoted girlfriend who meets them at the prison gates, only to be disappointed when Sid wants to look for the loot instead of going back home for some "catching up to do." As she grumbles, Sid gives her bum a number of playful pats to hurry her along. Later, when they need transport to look for the area where the money is hidden, Sid sends a dejected Sylvia out to find a car for hire, giving her bum a slap to send her on her way.

She isn't the only woman whose bottom gets attention, as Carry On girl Joan Sims also pops up in this film as the landlady of the house they stop over in which is opposite the police station where the loot is hidden. Sid gets the idea to dig a tunnel, and as her room is the ideal place - and the fact that she fancies Dick Emery's character - he gets Dick to try and seduce her. He ends up pushing him into her room, with Dick accidently slapping Joan's backside in the process. Not that Joan minds in the least, and Dick Emery's worried expression as she closes the curtains says it all...
