Raising the Wind	comment	Raising the Wind is a 1961 film starring James Robertson Justice, Leslie Phillips, Paul Massie, Kenneth Williams, Liz Fraser, Eric Barker, Jennifer Jayne, Jimmy Thompson, and Guest Star Sid James. Despite being produced and directed by Peter Rogers and Gerald Thomas, and having a few of the films' stars, this film was not part of the Carry On... Series.Mervyn Hughes (Phillips), Malcolm Stewart (Massie), Alex Spendlove (Thompson), Miranda Kennaway (Fraser), and Jill Clemons (Jayne) are students at the London Academy of Music and the Arts, and they all share a flat owned by their deaf landlady, Mrs. Deevens (Esma Cannon). While the conductor, Sir Benjamin Boyd (Justice), and senior student Harold Chesney (Williams) are constantly putting them down, they don't let the two get to them and they play a string quintet recital at the Tudor Rose Room for Alex's aunt, Mrs. Featherstone (Ambrosine Phillpotts), to raise funds.When Mervyn writes a catchy tune, he gets drunk and sells it to two music publishers, Sid (James) and Harry (Lance Percival), for Â£50. Once Mervyn sobers up, he realises that he has violated the terms of his grant but can't afford to repurchase the tune. Things go from bad to worse when he remembers the tune wasn't an original one, but the "Alexandra Valtz", which he had remembered from when he was a child, which runs the risk of the true composer suing Sid and Harry.Hilarity Ensues as Malcolm goes up for the Strauss Scholarship with help from Dr. Morgan Rutherford (Barker), while Mervyn tries to get out of his sticky situation.

Jill teaches him a lesson by forcing a triple brandy down his throat, claiming he deserved it for what he did. Chesney mocks Mervyn for conducting his orchestra too fast, before insulting the orchestra as a whole. When it's time for him to conduct, they play much too fast indeed and make him look an utter fool.

Raising the Wind / int_b4a6ae4c	comment	Everyone Has Standards: While Sid is shifty and takes advantage of a drunken Mervyn to write a song for him, he still ensures that he gets his Â£50 that he owes him, even though Mervyn was passed out at the time, and he could've easily left without paying him for the tune.

Raising the Wind / int_c57f5c87	comment	Broken Glass Penalty: Rutherford is fond of playing golf in his office. When Malcolm goes to meet with him, one of his golf balls comes shooting through the window on his door and nearly hits him. Later, Rutherford tries teaching Malcolm to play, only for Malcolm to lose his grip and through the club through the window.

Miranda can be seen reading Cosmopolitan as Jill cooks goulash. Malcolm makes a joke about his Bach being worse than his bite. When mocking Mervyn for conducting the orchestra too fast, Chesney asks him if he's ever read Boris Asafyev.

Once he realises what he's said, he stutters and stammers and tries to explain that he's had her in mind to move in for a while. Rutherford tells Malcolm he needs a woman... to tidy his office. Rutherford also tells Chesney he has a screw loose, before clarifying it's an actual screw he lost in his office.

Raising the Wind / int_d820f28	comment	Reaction Shot: As Mervyn talks about banging on the door of Mrs. Deevens, his deaf landlady, he mentions how he "banged away for hours". Cue a confused look from Alex. When Sir Benjamin mentions that his great flaw as a conductor is "over-politeness at rehearsal", the scene cuts to Miranda pulling a bemused face, as if to incredulously say, "Oh, really?". She pulls a similar face once she hears how he loudly plays the bassoon when he shouldn't. As Rutherford tells him he has a screw loose, the film cuts to Chesney giving him an incredulous look.
