Audience Member The worst humor and original content, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review bill t 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. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the wittiest of the "Carry On" comedies.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.
