Carry On Emmannuelle

Carry On Emmannuelle is the 30th in the series of Carry On films to be made, and was released in 1978. This was the last Carry On film to be made until Carry On Columbus in 1992. The film was to be the final Carry On for many regulars, including Kenneth Williams in his 26th Carry On, Kenneth Connor in his 17th, Joan Sims in her 24th and Peter Butterworth in his 16th. Jack Douglas is the only actor to bridge the gap between Carry On Emmannuelle and Carry On Columbus. Beryl Reid and Suzanne Danielle make their only appearances in the series here. The film featured a change in style, becoming more openly sexual. This was highlighted by the implied behaviour of Suzanne Danielle, though she does not bare any more flesh than any other Carry On female lead. These changes brought the film closer to the then popular series of Xrated Confessions... comedies, or indeed the official Emmanuelle films it parodies. This, and the previous Carry On England, were the only films in the series to be certified AA by the then British Board of Film Censors. This restricted audiences to those aged fourteen and over.

Philip French took a very negative review of Carry On Emmannuelle This relentless sequence of badlywritten, badlytimed dirty jokes is surely one of the most morally and aesthetically offensive pictures to emerge from a British studio. Christopher Tookey considered the film to be Embarrassingly feeble.
