'Carry On Follow That Camel' is a hilarious romp that captures the essence of the Carry On series. The film excels in its witty dialogue and physical comedy, with standout performances by John Bluthal as the pompous Captain and Anita Harris as the charming Lady. Bernard Bresslaw's portrayal of the dim-witted but lovable Sergeant is particularly memorable. The DVD quality is excellent, with clear visuals and sound that do justice to the 60s cinematography. However, the plot is somewhat predictable, and some jokes may feel dated to modern audiences. The special features, including a documentary and commentary, add value for dedicated fans. The film's strength lies in its ensemble cast and the chemistry between them, creating a lighthearted and enjoyable viewing experience. While it may not be the strongest entry in the series, it certainly offers plenty of laughs and is a faithful representation of the Carry On brand. The pacing is brisk, and the comedic timing is spot-on. Overall, this DVD is a solid purchase for those who appreciate classic British comedy, though newcomers might want to start with more celebrated installments. The high-quality restoration makes it a worthy addition to any library.

In 'Carry On Follow That Camel', Bertram Oliphant West, a young Englishman with a penchant for trouble, is forced to flee to France after a scandal involving a lady and a stolen car. He joins the French Foreign Legion under the alias 'Bo West', hoping to escape his past. There, he encounters a motley crew of misfits including the pompous Captain Le Pice, the dim-witted Sergeant Nocker, and the beautiful Lady Jane, who has followed him out of love. The legion's commandant is a bumbling fool, and the camp is in disarray. Along the way, they face a series of absurd challenges, from a sandstorm that reveals a hidden treasure map to a confrontation with a rival legion led by the villainous Sheikh. Bo and his friends must navigate love triangles, mistaken identities, and a plot to steal the legion's payroll. Ultimately, Bo redeems himself by leading a successful mission against the Sheikh, winning the respect of his comrades and the heart of Lady Jane. The film culminates in a chaotic but triumphant finale, with the legion restored to order and Bo cleared of his past misdeeds. Filled with slapstick humor and clever wordplay, the summary captures the essence of this classic comedy.
