'''''Carry On Emmannuelle''''' is a 1978 [[British comedy]] film, the 30th release in the [[Carry On (film series)|series of 31 ''Carry On'' films]] (1958–1992). The film was to be the final ''Carry On'' for many regulars, including [[Kenneth Williams]] (in his 26th ''Carry On''), [[Kenneth Connor]] (in his 17th), [[Joan Sims]] (in her 24th) and [[Peter Butterworth]] (in his 16th). [[Jack Douglas (actor)|Jack Douglas]] is the only regular from this film to bridge the gap to ''Carry On Columbus''. [[Beryl Reid]], [[Henry McGee]] and [[Suzanne Danielle]] make their only appearances in the series here. The film featured a change in style, becoming more openly sexual and explicit. This was highlighted by the implied behaviour of Danielle's character, though she does not bare any more flesh than any other ''Carry On'' female lead. These changes brought the film closer to the then popular series of X-rated ''[[Confessions of a Window Cleaner|Confessions...]]'' comedies, or indeed the actual ''[[Emmanuelle (film)|Emmanuelle]]'' films that it parodies. This film, as well as the original cut of ''[[Carry On England]]'' were the only films in the series to be certified [[History of British film certificates#1970–1982|AA]] by the [[British Board of Film Classification|British Board of Film Censors]], which restricted audiences to those aged 14 and over.

==Plot==
Emmannuelle Prévert ([[Suzanne Danielle]]) relieves the boredom of a flight on [[Concorde]] by seducing timid Theodore Valentine ([[Larry Dann]]). She returns home to London to surprise her husband, the French ambassador, Émile Prevert ([[Kenneth Williams]]) but first surprises the butler, Lyons ([[Jack Douglas (actor)|Jack Douglas]]). He removes her coat, only to find that she has left her dress on the aircraft. The chauffeur, Leyland ([[Kenneth Connor]]), housekeeper, Mrs Dangle ([[Joan Sims]]), and aged boot-boy, Richmond ([[Peter Butterworth]]), sense saucy times ahead… and they are right! Émile is dedicated to his bodybuilding, leaving a sexually frustrated Emmannuelle to find pleasure with everyone from the Lord Chief Justice ([[Llewellyn Rees]]) to chat show host, Harold Hump ([[Henry McGee]]). Theodore is spurned by Emmannuelle, who has genuinely forgotten their airborne encounter, and, despite reassurances from his mother ([[Beryl Reid]]), exacts revenge by revealing Emmannuelle's antics to the press. However, after a visit to her doctor ([[Albert Moses]]), she discovers that she is pregnant and decides to settle down to a faithful marriage with Émile… and dozens of children.

==Critical reception==
Critical response was universally negative, even more so than ''[[Carry on England]]'' which preceded it, and ''[[Carry On Columbus]]'' which succeeded it 14 years later. [[Philip French]] said of it: "This relentless sequence of badly-written, badly-timed dirty jokes is surely one of the most morally and aesthetically offensive pictures to emerge from a British studio."<ref>{{cite news |first=Scott |last=Hughes |url=https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2001/apr/26/artsfeatures2 |title=The worst movie ever? |work=The Guardian |date=26 April 2001}}</ref> Christopher Tookey considered the film to be "embarrassingly feeble".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.movie-film-review.com/devfilm.asp?id=2619|title=Carry On Emmanuelle |website=Movie Film Review |first=Chris |last=Tookey|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20181125030722/http://www.movie-film-review.com/devfilm.asp?id=2619 |archivedate=25 November 2018}}</ref>

Whilst many other ''Carry Ons'' have continued to be popular, opinions of ''Carry on Emmanuelle'' and its immediate predecessor and successor have not improved over the passing of time, and ''Carry On Emmanuelle'' is universally considered to be the worst film in the series. Tom Cole, writing in the ''[[Radio Times]]'', found it "undignified" and "laugh-free", noting that the ''[[Lolita]]''-esque performance of Suzanne Danielle was "unintentionally creepy".<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.radiotimes.com/news/2011-08-11/attack-of-the-killer-bs-carry-on-emmannuelle-1978/ |first=Tom |last=Cole |work=Radio Times |date=11 August 2011 |title=Attack of the Killer Bs: Carry On Emmannuelle (1978)}}</ref> And both Cole and Ian Freer, writing for ''[[Empire (magazine)|Empire]]'', laid the blame for the death of the series squarely at the film's door.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.empireonline.com/movies/carry-emmanuelle/review/ |title=Carry On Emmannuelle Review |first=Ian |last=Freer |work=Empire}}</ref>
