Review
'Carry on Cleo' sends up the eponymous Taylor/Burton epic Cleopatra. Julius Caesar (Kenneth Williams) returns to Rome after conquering Britain only to find that Rome is awash with rumours of an Egyptian uprising led by Cleopatra. Mark Antony (Sid James) is sent to Egypt to sort her out, while two British slaves (Kenneth Connor and Jim Dale) are caught up in a conspiracy to assassinate Caesar. Fantastic performances all round, including a delightfully dotty one by Amanda Barrie, ensure that Talbot Rothwell's impressive script reaches a 'carry on' high-water mark. Repeat after me 'infamy infamy, they've all got in ........' Fantastic!
