04/10/2022 The worst humor and original content, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more bill t @Spuzz 05/09/2016 For some odd reason I enjoyed this one, a take on the French Revolution, as compared with the others. The story is good, about a Pimpernel thwarting capture by the French, and the jokes are fast and furious. The ending could have been a LOT shorter though. See more 05/06/2015 One of the wittiest of the "Carry On" comedies. See more 07/31/2014 Very good story that kept the laughs coming. See more 09/08/2013 I always have enjoyed the Carry On movies, they are a lot of fun and there are some very talented actors in the series. There are some stinkers like England, Emmanuelle and Columbus sure, but there are gems like Screaming (my personal favourite), Up the Khyber and Camping. Don't Lose Your Head is up there with the best entries of the series. For me it wasn't perfect, Jim Dale is wasted and Jacqueline's harp scene is cringe-worthy. However, it is tightly directed, never dull and is beautifully designed. The music is also suitably rousing, and while simple the story spoofs The Scarlet Pimpernel in a very sharp and hilarious manner. The writing and the cast though were what made Don't Lose Your Head as good as it was. Right from the names, brilliant comic incidents and entendres the gags are plentiful and the memorable quotes endless, it is really a very wittily and hilariously written film. The bloody sight exchange is a scream in particular. Sidney James is superb(even when camping it up he still manages to make for a dashing fop), of the Carry On series I think he has only been better in Khyber. Kenneth Williams steals every scene and possibly even the entire film, his comic timing is spot on and it is worth seeing him for his facial expressions alone. Charles Hawtrey has some great lines and delivers them with utter comic conviction, while Joan Sims also excels as a very aptly-named character. Overall, very good and one of the best of an entertaining series. 8/10 See more 11/18/2012 They're all very silly but this is one is among the best of the lot, Fun story and the humour isn't just sex jokes all the time.
