Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Infamy, Infamy...
One of the best of the series, being lucky enough to have a reasonable plot combining various influences from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar to the Elizabeth Taylor film Cleopatra. Amanda Barrie reminds us of how utterly gorgeous she was before she was in Coronation Street, whilst Sid and Kenneth W. excel in their usual roles, Ken's first line being 'I do feel queer!' delivered in the way that only he could get away with.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Historical mayhem!

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - THAT'S CARRY ON!
Carry On Cleo is one of the series entries that will always be remembered. It simply is classic British comedy at it's best.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I Have A Poisonous Asp!
If the above title has you chuckling, this is the movie for you! A spoof of Anthony & Cleopatra done in the inimitable Carry On style. Jim Dale & Kenneth Connor as the heroic Ancient Brits, Sid James as the asp-chomping Mark Anthony, and Bernard Bresslaw as Agrippa the bodyguard are all classic characters. My personal favourite Carry On. They don't make 'em like this any more!
