EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 14th of February in 1970, where the legendary British actor Sidney James takes on the iconic role of Long John Silver for a Carry On Christmas special. Known for his unmistakable and infectious laugh, Sidney James became synonymous with the beloved British comedy series "Carry On". As we gaze at this image, it becomes apparent that the Carry On version of the notorious nautical baddie has undergone a peculiar transformation. Instead of missing a leg as traditionally depicted, Long John Silver seems to have gained an extra limb! A humorous twist indeed. The photograph captures Sidney James in character with impeccable detail and charm. His mischievous grin suggests he is fully embracing the comedic nature of his role. The presence of a parrot perched upon his shoulder adds an authentic touch to this playful portrayal. George Greenwell's expertly captured moment from this memorable television production allows us to relive not only Sidney James' remarkable talent but also transports us back to an era when British comedy was at its zenith. This delightful print serves as a nostalgic reminder of both Sidney James' enduring legacy and our collective love for classic British humor.
