Hammer Volume Seven: Ships & Giggles takes a look at the lighter side of the legendary film studio’s diverse output, with a quartet of comic classics starring a roll-call of British comedy greats.

In The Ugly Duckling, Carry On legend Bernard Bresslaw develops a split personality in this outrageous take on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, also starring future Doctor Who Jon Pertwee (Adventures of a Private Eye). Dennis Price (Fortune Is a Woman) and George Cole (A Prize of Gold) play feuding officers in the military farce Don’t Panic Chaps. Bob Monkhouse (Carry On Sergeant), Leslie Phillips (You Must Be Joking!), and Shirley Eaton (The Blood of Fu Manchu) are stranded in France during a disastrous holiday in A Weekend with Lulu. Finally, Price returns as a seaman who is late for his own wedding in the marital farce Watch It, Sailor!, which also stars the legendary Liz Fraser (The Smallest Show on Earth) and Irene Handl (Confessions of a Driving Instructor).

This collection of long-overdue UK and world Blu-ray premieres contains a wealth of new and archival extra features, including appreciations, and interviews with members of the cast and crew, and extensive booklets. Strictly limited to 6,000 numbered units.
