I don't think it is as funny as Carry on Screaming, Kenneth Williams's "Frying Tonight" is one of the best lines of the whole series. But it is still a hilarious film nonetheless. The film does look very nice, maybe a little dated, but lovely costumes and sets. The sparkling script is full of innuendos and one liners("Infamy Infamy They all have it in for me!"), not to mention a scatter of sex references. I don't think the beginning is the best beginning in the series, but once we are introduced to the likes of Amanda Barrie, looking gloriously dippy as Cleopatra, it picks up quite considerably. Some of the scenes, like the scene of the Eunuchs, are very silly. Jim Dale impresses in his role, but the acting honours go to Sidney James as Mark Anthony and Kenneth Williams as Julius Caesar. All in all, well recommended for fans of the series. 8/10 Bethany Cox.
