Amazon.co.uk Review

The discovery of valuable archaeological remains beneath a holiday caravan site is the cause of the mayhem in Carry On Behind. That said, the sub-"plots", which involve Windsor Davies and Jack Douglas as a pair of randy fishermen, a couple sharing their caravan with an outsize dog (no, it's not like that...), the obligatory giggling dolly birds and so on are all typical grist to the Carry On mill. The location is of course as bleakly miserable as such a place could ever be and will bring a frisson of familiarity to many Brits. Widely held to be one of the best in the series, the film would in fact have been a rather lacklustre effort were it not for the superbly over-the-top presence of Elke Sommer, whose performance as the strapping assistant to archaeologist Roland Crump (Kenneth Williams) seems like a wonderful hybrid of Ute Lemper and Charlie Dimmock. --Roger Thomas

5.0 out of 5 stars Camping 2 ?, 10 Nov 2002
By Michael J. Taylor "mikejamestaylor1973" (East Staffordshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Carry On Behind [VHS] [1975] (VHS Tape)
I've often heard people refer to "Behind" as "Camping 2" but the only similarity to me is the location and general camping theme.

Both films make for wonderful, "escapist" viewing, and are so wonderfully silly at points that you can't not laugh.

Even without Sid - for whom Windsor Davies' role as Fred the butcher had been originally custom-written - the film captures that wonderful low-budget, cheerful era of home-grown British comedy the likes of which we'll not see again.

Behind stands up against all the other Carry Ons as an equal classic. It brightens up any miserable, rainy Sunday.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Carry On Camping, believe me!, 25 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Carry On Behind [VHS] [1975] (VHS Tape)
Carry On Camping is on of my favourite films, but not even that piece of genius comes close to Carry On Behind. I'm sure some people would disagree with me but, to me, this is such a good film that ...Camping doesn't even come close. The best scene, in my view, comes when Kenneth Connor tries to seduce Joan Simms. Kenny, in his desperation to get Joan 'in the mood', plays a brass band lp and dances around like a major on heat. You have to see it to enjoy it fully, but you won't be disappointed! Pure genius and should be bought by everyone who likes good, honest comedy.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the series' best, 28 Jun 2004
By www.DavidLRattigan.com (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
  
Carry on Behind is certainly one of the best in the series, the last truly worthy addition to the Carry on canon before the dire days of England and Emmannuelle. Script is consistently funny, and cast are top-notch, with many of the regulars (Kenneth Williams, Kenneth Connor, Bernard Bresslaw, Joan Sims, Jack Douglas, Peter Butterworth, Patsy Rowlands) and a few new faces (Windsor Davies, Elke Sommer). Great fun, and a real "ensemble" feel.

Of the DVD extras, the commentary has its moments, but there are too many people. Perhaps what would have worked better would be to have two commentaries, one with Dave Freeman (scriptwriter) being interviewed and one with the rest of the cast in conversation (Rowlands, Douglas, Larry Dann). It tended to get a bit confusing, and not all the comments are audible without fiddling around with the volume. Plus there are a few too many digressions -- I was more interested in hearing about the film itself, than about how nice Les Dawson and Benny Hill were or how much Rowlands enjoyed working with Tony Richardson on Tom Jones! Having said that, it was still an enjoyable and entertaining commentary.

Nicest extra is the stills gallery, comprising a slide show of some charming, rarely seen behind-the-scenes shots, with written commentary and Eric Rogers' music.
