Advantages: The addition of Frankie Howard in the cast Disadvantages: Slow in parts
Following the hilarious medical caper Carry On Again Doctor (1969) (one of my own personal favourites in the series) the merry old Carry On gang retreated into another historical theme for what was the last Carry On film of the swinging sixties (which was the decade that the Carry On films were in their prime), Carry On Up The Jungle (1969). The Carry On films were always essentially British so it's actually quite surprising that they enjoyed such ... ...cinemas for nearly three years!!). Carry On Up The Jungle was really no exception and the film predicatbly runs through all of those familiar gags and double entendres that we've all seen and heard probably 1,000 times before in other Carry On films but it's the super-fine performances of the irreplacable Carry On players that ignite Carry On Up The Jungle into such a wonderful film (not to mention spot-on direction from Gerald Thomas aided by the ...

Howards End Review ofCarry On Up The Jungle (Special Edition)by
scampbellajc
Advantages: Good Range of Extras on DVD Disadvantages: Standard later Carry On
...such as it is with carry Ons this one is set in darkest Africa ( in fact the whole film looks very studio bound ) and centres around Professer Inigo Tinkle ( Frankie Howard in the last of the two Carry Ons he made ) and his sidekick Claude Chumley ( Kenneth Connor ) setting out on a bird fancying expedition ( surprise surprise ). They come across a tribe of man hungrey females ( poor guys ) and a Jungle Boy played with gusto by Terry Scott. Also ... ...sleep by the time this carry on came out

DVD Description
In this episode of the quintessentially British comedy series, the gang are on safari. They're on the hunt for the rare Oozulum bird, but instead come across all other types of wildlife. Parodies of "Tarzan" and other jungle films continue the fine Carry On tradition as Frankie Howerd, Sid James and the other regulars ham it up for all they're worth!
