Spoofing the French Revolution is the great British Carry On team, and 21 years later Blackadder did the same. Anyway, this mock of the great Scarlett Pimpernell has Sir Rodney Ffing a.k.a. The Black Fingernail (Sid James, with a great constant laugh), is the anti-hero saving people from execution, but mainly his own life as a master-of-disguise. Citizen Camembert (Kenneth Williams) and Citizen Bidet (Peter Butterworth) are the only two that can possibly stop him. This is a really good comedy film with great depiction of the period, and the other Carry On members do their great parts as well. These include Jim Dale as Lord Darcy Pue, Charles Hawtrey as Duc De Pommfrit and Joan Sims as Désirée Dubarry, but where's Barbara Windsor when you want her? Carry On films were number 39 on The 100 Greatest Pop Culture Icons. Very good!
