Interestingly this, the 14th edition of the Carry On series (although it doesn't feature the carry on name in the title), features an American in Phil Silvers as to encourage the popularity of the series in the USA. Despite this attempt the Carry On films remain firmly at their most popular in the UK. He does a surprisingly good job in his role, although he doesn't match Sid James.

It's one of my personal favourites of the series with some very funny gags in there. It heavily parodies the book Beau Geste, which has been made into various films and tv series down the years. The cast all do a good job playing off each other.

The scenes set in the Sahara were actually filmed in Camber Sands in Sussex, which turns out to make a pretty authentic looking desert. While it's not quite the strongest of the series, it's one of the better ones in my mind.
