One of my all time favorites.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I thought I would just give this film a try as I had not seen a Carry on for many years. I now know I was not missing anything. It is a mystery to me why performers who had some real comic talent ever got involved in a series like this. Kenneth Williams was a fantastically versatile actor and was able to handle drama and comedy. Why he lowered himself to continue in this kind of rubbish is puzzling. Ditto most of the other participants. I remember enjoying Carry on Sergeant and Carry on Teacher even Carry on Nurse (or was it doctor) - those were all black and white and fairly funny to a kid as I was at the time. Over the years the quality went down and down until they just became embarrassing to watch. The rot really set in when Barbara Windsor and Sid James joined the team. This particular film is just chronically awful in almost every respect - the performances by the main Carry on team are phoned in and the script is appalling. I am aware that there are people for whom Carry on films are the epitome of sophisticated humour and some people who love them because they are awful. I just cannot stand them.

The Carry On series were wonderful satirical films that like Mel Brooks took on a particular genre of film and went to town with spoofing. But Carry On Behind went back over some familiar ground that the troupe previously trod over in Carry On Camping. In addition series regulars Sid James and Charles Hawtrey are not in Carry On Behind. Not all the regulars were available for all films at any given point. But it somehow doesn't seem an official Carry On film without them.Kenneth Williams plays an archeology professor who with a visiting Russian colleague Elke Sommer has discovered a site near Hadrian's Wall which he believes will yield artifacts. So the two go on a dig. As it turns out their site is right on a campsite where the British vacationing public bring their trailers and set up camp. The director of the camp is Kenneth Connor and he's not terribly thrilled with the dig. But he's got enough problems of his own with just his campers.Seeing Sommer trying to seduce the diffident Williams provided a lot of laughs. As did Joan Sims myna bird saying all kinds of inappropriate things. And of course the hazards created when one is digging all kinds of holes.Still it's ground covered before and Carry On Behind just doesn't seem right without James and Hawtrey,

In 1974, the 'Confessions' films ( starring Robin Askwith as randy 'Timmy Lea') arrived, and were doing much the same sort of thing as the 'Carry On' pictures, only with nudity. Peter Rogers' pictures tried to compete - with disastrous results. 'Behind' was probably the last to stay within the parameters of the series. It is set on a rundown caravan site somewhere in England. Holidaymakers from all walks of life converge; they include Bernard Bresslaw's henpecked 'Arthur', his nagging wife 'Linda' ( Patsy Rowlands ), and her domineering mother 'Daphne' ( Joan Sims ), who has brought along her annoying minah bird ( voiced by director Gerald Thomas ). There's also the Baxters ( Ian Lavender and Adrienne Posta ), and their hungry Great Dane. Jack Douglas and Windsor Davies ( the latter in a role written originally for Sid James ) are ostensibly there for the fishing, but who are really there for the f#####g! A team of archaeologists led by Kenneth Williams 'Professor Roland Crump' and Elke Sommer's 'Professor Anna Vooshka' also arrive on the scene to excavate some nearby Roman ruins. Added to this motley collection is Kenneth Connor's randy old site owner 'Major Leep' and Peter Butterworth as his manager 'Barnes' ( who is 'Joshua Fiddler' of 'Carry On Camping' in all but name ).Dave Freeman inherited the writing duties following the retirement ( due to nervous exhaustion ) of Talbot Rothwell. He had previously written the big screen version of 'Bless This House'. 'Behind' is not vintage 'Carry On', but has its moments, and compared to the three pictures which followed - 'England', 'Emmannuelle', and 'Columbus' - looks like a masterpiece. 'Carry On Camping' appears to have been the main inspiration, but alas it lacks a strong gag to fix it in the memory, like Babs Windsor's flying bra in the earlier picture. It marked Liz Fraser's return to the series after a fourteen-year absence ( her last one was 'Carry On Regardless' ). Its not a very big role, but its nice to have her back. Sommer's 'Vooska' is delightful, with a command of the English language that rivals Inspector Clouseau's French. She greets people with 'how are your doings?' instead of 'how are you doing?', and confuses 'cramped' with 'crumpet'. Williams is suitably flustered as the lucky chappie she gets to share a caravan with. Carol Hawkins ( of 'The Fenn Street Gang' ) and future 'Loose Woman' Sherrie Hewson play a couple of sexy girls who unwisely pitch their tent next to Jack and Windsor's caravan. Sid James and Babs Windsor are missed; both were touring in plays at the time of filming. George Layton's doctor looks and sounds uncannily like 'Dr.Paul Collier', his character from L.W.T.'s 'Doctor' series.Much of the humour is smutty and predictable, but in a 'Carry On', that's to be expected. The climax has a stripper ( Jenny Cox ) turning up at the site instead of the planned singer, and an unexpected rainstorm leads to flooding and caravans sinking into the ground.Things To Look Out For - a brief appearance by Diana Darvey, whose curvaceous figure graced several Benny Hill shows.Funniest moment - trying to retrieve a beach-ball from a bonfire, Fred ( Windsor Davies ) attracts the attention of Barnes ( Peter Butterworth ). "My ball's burning!", he explains. Barnes replies: "Don't stand so close to the fire!".A few months after 'Behind' went on general release, Sid James died, an event which symbolically heralded the beginning of the end of the much-loved comedy franchise.

I can agree with the critics, this film certainly started the downfall and eventually end of the Carry On franchise, followed by England, Emmannuelle, and ending with Columbus, all getting one out of five stars, deservedly. It is basically another Carry On Camping, with caravans. So Professors Anna Vooshka (Elke Sommer) and Roland Crump (Kenneth Williams) visit the archaeological site for artifacts, randy site owner Major Leep (Kenneth Connor) tries to keep most things in order, husband Arthur Upmore (Bernard Bresslaw) and Linda (Patsy Rowlands) are trying to enjoy themselves, but have snobbish mother Daphne Barnes (Joan Sims) nagging, butcher Fred Ramsden (Windsor Davies) and Ernie Bragg (Jack Douglas) are misbehaving without their wives to see, and Henry Barnes (Peter Butterworth) is the odd-job man, oh, and Joe Baxter (Dad's Army's Ian Lavender) is about too. Also starring Liz Fraser as Sylvia Ramsden, Adrienne Posta as Norma Baxter, Patricia Franklin as Vera Bragg, Donald Hewlett as The Dean and Carol Hawkins as Sandra. Sid James didn't want to, Barbara Windsor was away, and Charles Hawtrey quit the Carry Ons after Abroad, so no wonder it was doomed to be a repeat of Camping. The most innuendos, and not all funny ones it should be said, come from Sommer and Williams, mainly because of Sommer's weird Russian accent, it's just not as funny as it tries to be, and there's worse to come, trust me. Adequate!
