Carrying On Inappropriately...

A series of films carried on, with perpetual double entendre, loved to finger an organ, unleash melons to gorge on, baps, flaps, jugs, bazookas went ding dong.

Though it's not quite so funny today, Fanny plays with her balls in new ways, Dick's choppers been cut, Kitty's curtains are shut, the clams gone from splayed to being spayed.

One of the funnier entries in the classic comedy series!

I don't think it is as funny as Carry on Screaming, Kenneth Williams's "Frying Tonight" is one of the best lines of the whole series. But it is still a hilarious film nonetheless. The film does look very nice, maybe a little dated, but lovely costumes and sets. The sparkling script is full of innuendos and one liners("Infamy Infamy They all have it in for me!"),not to mention a scatter of sex references. I don't think the beginning is the best beginning in the series, but once we are introduced to the likes of Amanda Barrie, looking gloriously dippy as Cleopatra, it picks up quite considerably. Some of the scenes, like the scene of the Eunuchs, are very silly. Jim Dale impresses in his role, but the acting honours go to Sidney James as Mark Anthony and Kenneth Williams as Julius Caesar. All in all, well recommended for fans of the series. 8/10 Bethany Cox.

Peplum, Carry On style

In 1963 the film almost broke 20th Century Fox was released and Cleopatra set a standard by which all other peplum films were done. On not quite the budget that Cleopatra had, Carry On Cleo benefited from all the hoopla and publicity that the mammoth Cleopatra enjoyed.

The Carry On gang are in their best form in this film which is a wonderful spoof of all the sand and scandal films were becoming popular starting with Quo Vadis in 1951. The story of Julius Caesar, Mark Antony and Cleopatra was never quite told like this.

It starts with Caesar's expedition to Britain and him bringing back some captives like Jim Dale and Kenneth Connor. Dale is a heroic sort and Connor is a henpecked husband who spends time inventing things like square wheels, the better that carts not roll down backward on a hill.

The rest of the film concerns the adventures that Connor and Dale have the mistake made by none other Julius Caesar and Mark Antony thinking that Connor was the warrior type after Dale saves Caesar. Just a whole lot of people trying to do him in. Including in this version Mark Antony played by Sid James.

You'll never see a Julius Caesar quite like this one. Kenneth Williams plays a henpecked husband himself married to Joan Sims and when Antony tells him an alliance can be made with Cleopatra he's hot to trot. Anything to get away from Calpurnia. Now we know why he went on those long expeditions of conquest.

As for Cleo she's beautiful and quite empty headed and played by Amanda Barrie.

Funniest moment for me when Sid James bites the head off an asp after Cleo tells him its poisonous. It sure doesn't taste good.

The Carry On ensemble in great form for Carry On Cleo.
