Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

bkoganbing The Carry On series were wonderful satirical films that like Mel Brooks took on a particular genre of film and went to town with spoofing. But Carry On Behind went back over some familiar ground that the troupe previously trod over in Carry On Camping. In addition series regulars Sid James and Charles Hawtrey are not in Carry On Behind. Not all the regulars were available for all films at any given point. But it somehow doesn't seem an official Carry On film without them.Kenneth Williams plays an archeology professor who with a visiting Russian colleague Elke Sommer has discovered a site near Hadrian's Wall which he believes will yield artifacts. So the two go on a dig. As it turns out their site is right on a campsite where the British vacationing public bring their trailers and set up camp. The director of the camp is Kenneth Connor and he's not terribly thrilled with the dig. But he's got enough problems of his own with just his campers.Seeing Sommer trying to seduce the diffident Williams provided a lot of laughs. As did Joan Sims myna bird saying all kinds of inappropriate things. And of course the hazards created when one is digging all kinds of holes.Still it's ground covered before and Carry On Behind just doesn't seem right without James and Hawtrey,

Karl Hughes I'm a dissenting voice in the crowd as I actually rather like this late entry in the Carry On series. In fact, I'd probably have it in my top 5 Carry Ons.There were so many reasons why this entry should have been below par. The previous film in the series, Dick, saw the last appearances of Sid James, Barbara Windsor and Hatties Jacques (we'd already just lost Charles Hawtrey) and importantly this film was the first in a very long time not to have been scripted by master of the double-entendre, Talbot Rothwell. There were only three Carry Ons after this one, and they were all seriously bad. On paper, this is the film where it should have gone wrong, but instead what we have is a likable film full of Carry On humour. It feels like a natural sequel to Carry On Camping. It's a roughly 50:50 cast split between Carry On regulars (Williams, Sims, Bresslaw and Connor) and newcomers (Davies, Posta, Lavendar), and there's a guest star thrown in, Elke Sommer. I've never been a great fan of guests in Carry Ons as they inevitably don't 'fit in' with the crew (like them or loathe them, Ted Ray, Harry H Corbett, Phil Silvers and Frankie Howerd all kind of stood-out as not quite being in the Carry On mould). Elke, playing a Russian archaeologist, adds greatly to this film, and she gets quite a lot of the funny lines, mostly from her misinterpretation of English words.Although I very much like this film it isn't without its faults. The plot is thinner than usual and the ending is poor (there isn't really a story to conclude at all). I'm not a prude, but there are blatant breasts on display; the Carry Ons always seemed better when they were more innocent. Technically the film is shoddy, with an awful lot of dialogue having been added after filming - at several points the cast speak without even having to move their lips! But there's plenty to enjoy here, cameos from Marianne Stone and David Lodge, a larger role than usual for Patsy Rowlands, music by Eric Rogers, and the English love of life in caravans and under canvas.Heartily recommended, the last great Carry On.

Tweekums Having had a hit with 'Carry on Camping', the team cover similar ground here; this time at a caravan park. Kenneth Williams plays Professor Ronald Crump, an archaeologist who is accompanied by Russian expert Professor Anna Vooshka, played by Elke Sommer, when Roman remains are found near the caravan park. Also present at the park are a couple of married men who have told their wives they are going fishing but spend the film trying to chat up the girls next door; a couple accompanied by the woman's mother and her myna bird and another couple with their huge dog. Over the course of the film we get the expected shenanigans; the myna bird keeps saying 'show us your knickers' whenever a girl is near and she naturally thinks it is one of the men, Crump constantly misunderstands Vooshka, thinking she is saying something rude; and the two 'fishermen' fail to get anywhere with the girls… over all a typical late entry to the Carry On series.This isn't the worst entry in the series but it is one of the weaker ones; where once we had gentle humour just about every joke was smutty; that isn't bad in itself but the jokes felt too predictable. The opening scene where Crump accidentally showed a film of a stripper rather than an archaeological dig let us know what to expect early on. The film certainly suffered from not having a full compliment of Carry On veterans; Williams was amusing as Crump and Kenneth Connor wasn't bad as the site owner but Joan Sims was reduced to playing the battleaxe of a mother in law. The story was okay and there were some (in)decent laughs, however the nature of the jokes meant the film probably isn't suitable for younger viewers while many of the jokes will seen puerile to older viewers.

Jackson Booth-Millard I can agree with the critics, this film certainly started the downfall and eventually end of the Carry On franchise, followed by England, Emmannuelle, and ending with Columbus, all getting one out of five stars, deservedly. It is basically another Carry On Camping, with caravans. So Professors Anna Vooshka (Elke Sommer) and Roland Crump (Kenneth Williams) visit the archaeological site for artifacts, randy site owner Major Leep (Kenneth Connor) tries to keep most things in order, husband Arthur Upmore (Bernard Bresslaw) and Linda (Patsy Rowlands) are trying to enjoy themselves, but have snobbish mother Daphne Barnes (Joan Sims) nagging, butcher Fred Ramsden (Windsor Davies) and Ernie Bragg (Jack Douglas) are misbehaving without their wives to see, and Henry Barnes (Peter Butterworth) is the odd-job man, oh, and Joe Baxter (Dad's Army's Ian Lavender) is about too. Also starring Liz Fraser as Sylvia Ramsden, Adrienne Posta as Norma Baxter, Patricia Franklin as Vera Bragg, Donald Hewlett as The Dean and Carol Hawkins as Sandra. Sid James didn't want to, Barbara Windsor was away, and Charles Hawtrey quit the Carry Ons after Abroad, so no wonder it was doomed to be a repeat of Camping. The most innuendos, and not all funny ones it should be said, come from Sommer and Williams, mainly because of Sommer's weird Russian accent, it's just not as funny as it tries to be, and there's worse to come, trust me. Adequate!
