Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Spikeopath It's a retread of Carry On Camping only with caravans as the usual array of characters ripe for fun picking innuendo laden shenanigans. Plot for what it's worth has a bunch of Carry On holidaymakers caravanning next to a Roman excavation site being run by Prof Anna Vrooshka (Elke Sommer) and Prof. Roland Crump (Kenneth Williams). Chaos inevitable ensues.The absence of Sid James, Charles Hawtrey, Hattie Jacques and Terry Scott was always going to be felt (they had all left the franchise by this time), but Williams, Bernard Bresslaw , Kenneth Connor, Joan Simms and Peter Butterworth plough on stoically with the thin formulaic screenplay. Windsor Davis supplements them but he's no Sid James.The series would trundle out two more films in the 70s before the ill advised comeback movie in 1992 (Carry on Columbus), one of which was the dreadful Carry on England. "Behind" isn't an awful movie as it does have its moments, such as the by-play between Sommer and Williams, and Bresslaw's henpecked husband act. It's also a very good snapshot of the era with budget holidays pointing to the unsteady political climate, while the sexual aspects reek of a time well left behind – but those attitudes did exist back then.Passable Carry On fare but carrying with it the sadness in knowing the series was long past its sell by date. 6/10

TheLittleSongbird Carry on Behind is nowhere near the atrocities Emmanuelle, Columbus and England are, but it was disappointing. And no, it is not to do with the fact Sidney James and Talbot Rothwell are missing, though they were a prime reason why the Carry Ons of the 60s were so enjoyable. The film does have some great set and costume design, the score is good and Kenneth Williams and Elke Sommer are a lot of fun. However, the story is thin and unfocused while trying to combine caravan holiday capers and archaeological high jinks, while the script is pretty much dreadful with the innuendo well and truly smutty and unfunny especially. The direction isn't great either, while Bernard Breeslaw, Kenneth Connor and Joan Sims who are so good when they have a good script and character are restricted by underused supporting roles. Overall, not atrocious but very disappointing. 4/10 Bethany Cox

ianlouisiana Oh dear.In a desperate attempt to keep up with the Paul Raymond/Fiona Richmond era of tacky English semi - porn,the "Carry On" production team came up with this absolute stinker.They even had the gall to use the same location as the immortal "Carry on Camping" as if they were hoping that some of the magic might brush off onto the dandruff - ridden crumpled shoulders of this dirty mac of a movie.Well,I promise you it didn't.With "Carry on Behind",the comedy lights went out all over Pinewood. It has none of the innocent,cheery, Music Hall quality of the earlier movies,here we see unpleasant sneering jokes that demean women.Even a performer like Mr Kenneth Williams - a master at transforming poor material - can do nothing with this trash.He looks tired and dispirited. When he fell into a cesspit he probably felt a deep sense of relief. Two of the cast of the current TV hit "It ain't half hot mum!" make an appearance but were clearly uncomfortable with a script that makes the Croft/Perry series seem like the work of Noel Coward.In particular Mr Windsor Davies - a very funny man - is wasted in the role of a randy butcher off for a weekend's leering with the near - catatonic Mr Jack Douglas. Mr Bresslaw and Miss Sims both seem vaguely embarrassed.Mr Connor is very bad as a retired army officer. As dear Oscar once said,"There is nothing so old - fashioned as being absolutely up - to - date".With its flowery shirts,flares,silly hair,crap colour and pointy collars,"Carry on behind" was on the button archetypal mid 70s - there was even an Austin Maxi.But,more than nearly any other "Carry on",it has aged badly.Like Don Revie's Leeds Utd and the Bay City Rollers it is best forgotten.

m_pratt This film is a good film!. Not as good as Dick but a good film. It is a return to the modern world as the last film was set in 1750 we are now back into the 1970s..Any way the film is based around a caravan site there is a good combination of actors and characters.Bernard Bresslaw is great as Arthur Upmore , Patsy Rowlands is also very good as his wife. Windsor Davies and Jack Douglas are the Sid and Bernie characters as in carry on camping.Joan Sims is a little weak in this carry on not as good as in Dick.Elke Sommer is great as Anna Vooskha as is Kenneth Williams as professor Roland crump. Kenneth Connor is just as funny as ever. Peter Butterworth is the Mr fiddler type character as in Camping. Its a nice return for Liz Frazer who was last seen back in 1963 in Cabby? i think. Ian lavender is very good as the long suffering dog owner his wife Norma Baxter who loves her dog who keeps going into the Upmores tent. Carol and Sandra the birds who Jack and Windsor are after. A talking Mynah bird escapes and creates havoc all over the campsite. Overall a great carry on after this things took a turn for the worst and by 1976 the carry on series was dead and buried.As mentioned the plot is very similar to carry on camping with Carol and Sandra being the Babs and Fanny characters. Most of the last few where remakes of earlier films. Behind = Camping,the film has no real plot just sketches as in loving and Regardless. England is another version of carry on Seargeant , Colombus= Jack.Most of the locations in this film where used in earlier film and makes you pine for Sid and Babs. Barbara Windsor would have been good in this film.Overall 10/10
