	screenonline: Carry On... Up the Khyber (1968)
		Carry On entry that got the most votes in the 1999 British Film Institute poll of the 100 finest British films ever made (it was placed 99th).
		Part of the reason for its continuing appeal certainly lies in the way it seeks to deflate the traditional British values of restraint and decorum and the associated obsession with class values.
		The splendidly daft plot revolves around the fact that the Highland regiment guarding the Khyber Pass (represented by a small wooden gate), known locally as the 'devils in skirts', actually wears underpants beneath their kilts.

	Carry On films - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One of the most iconic Carry On stars was Barbara Windsor, although she only appeared in 9 of the films.
		The loss of the Carry On prefix from the titles of this and the next film was due to the change of distributor from Anglo Amalgamated to Rank.
		The influence of these genres is keenly felt in the Carry On series' output of this period, with an increased sexual content and more television stars (such as Windsor Davies) appearing in place of regulars.

		Carry On… movies are never likely to be thought of as comedy classics, and yet they are fondly remembered by those who have seen them on a wet bank holiday Monday through the years, and the regular cast remain household names (Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Barbara Windsor to name but a few).
		With the Carry On films being re-visited by Carry On London (which will feature – shudder – soap actors in the major parts), this is a good time to see the original cast at their very best.
		Carry On Up The Khyber is hillarious and with a cast of Kenneth Williams, Sid James, Charles Hawtry, Bernard Bresslaw and Terry Scott- you know your in for a treat.

		When the Carry On team crash into Henry VIII's England, Cleopatra's Egypt, or Louis XVI's France, it's to prove that base instincts and bodily processes are just as prevalent in a world pseudo-sanitized by wealth, grandeur, or history as in the seaside-postcard context that commentators see as the movie saga's matrix.
		James is Carry On's answer to the unfettered moral commentator the Bard wrote into his plays as the "common man": Launcelot Enobarbus in Antony and Cleopatra, the Gravedigger in Hamlet.
		In the peerless Carry On Up the Jungle the Great Tradition of Victorian exploration – that age when no Englishman could get on a boat-train without ending up in a pith helmet discovering a new African country – is dismembered in a sendup of the Stanley-Livingstone story.

		Why Carry On Cleo and Carry On Up The Khyber are two of the best films ever By Professor Colin MacCabe Friday January 29, 1999 They were shot on minuscule budgets and their director, Gerald Thomas, worked at such speed that he was always ahead of their strictest 9-to-5 schedules.
		And yet, 20 years after their demise, the Carry On films are not only endlessly repeated on television but are being accorded the honour of a complete retrospective at the National Film Theatre which starts on February 16.

	Guardian Unlimited Film \| \| Why Carry On Cleo and Carry On Up the Khyber are two of the best films ever
		But the deep springs of the creativity for the Carry On films are to be found in the second world war and the extraordinary flowering of humour which came out of that most democratic of combats.
		The pastiche of serious big budget films allowed the Carry Ons to reach a new comic level and none was better than Carry On Cleo, shot with such speed on the discarded sets of Fox's ill-fated Richard Burton/Elizabeth Taylor Cleopatra that it appeared in the cinemas before the original.
		There is little doubt that for almost all its very diverse fans, the Carry Ons reached their zenith in 1968 with Carry On Up The Khyber, a neo-Kiplingesque tale of a very unlikely Raj with Sidney James as a Victorian pro-consul and Kenneth Williams as the rebellious Khasi of Kalabar.

		There is a school of thought which claims that the ‘Carry On’ films reached their peak in the mid sixties with Carry On Cleo or possibly Carry On Up The Khyber and went into slow decline from that point onwards.
		Carry On Abroad, of 1972 vintage, is the last of the series to feature a relatively full complement of the team and the swan song of the great Charles Hawtrey.
		Carry On Abroad has an oddly melancholic feel to it, as if all involved are aware that it’s coming to the end of an era.

		When Rank took over the Carry On series from Anglo Amalgamated in 1966, they decided to do away with the famous prefix, fearing that their cinematic output would be tarnished with the ‘low brow’ name.
		Whether it’s the absence of Sid James or the familiarity of the genre (this was the fifth historical in a row, after all), it’s impossible to say.

		The "Carry-On" team produced a large number of films from the 50s through the 70s, and the team consisted of a core group of British comedians with new talent added for each film--I suppose the closest equivalent in America would be National Lampoon films.
		The "Carry On" series was a staple of British cinema for decades, with the action centering on an ensemble of comedians (like America's Bowery Boys or Japan's Crazy Cats).
		"Carry On Camping" seems to be typical of the series, with broad performances, double-entendre dialogue, and punchlines telegraphed far in advance for maximum effect.

	2/11/02: CD Review The Carry On Album
		Prior to the Carry Ons, Eric Rogers had produced a number of incidental jazz and dance cues for British films, as well as assisting and transcribing songs for Lionel Bart (who, like Irving Berlin, was unable to read or write music).
		Over the course of more than 20 years, the Carry On series progressed from the gentle good-natured character-based comedy of the Norman Hudis-scripted entries to the lavatory humor (literally in At Your Convenience, set in a toilet factory) and sexual innuendo of the Talbot Rothwell-penned films.
		Getting away from the slightly mocking pomp and circumstance of Cleo and Up the Khyber, there are also genuinely touching moments, most notably the simple and affecting theme for Sid and Joan's unconsummated love in Convenience.
