British India, 1895. The Burpas are revolting but then again
'The Devils in Skirts' who guard the Khyber Pass are none
too charming either. Can Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond prevent the
scheming Khasi of Kalabar from starting a full-scale rebellion,
massacring thousands of innocent people, ending British rule
and making his cushy job obsolete? Can he prevent the horrible
secret about what's under the kilts of the 3rd Foot and Mouth
regiment from becoming common knowledge among the natives?...
Carry
On up the Khyber captures the very essence of what made
the series such a hit. Its blend of puns and pointless plotting,
stella performances and 'nudge nudge' humour is so well balanced
that the film could act as a master class in film making.
Sid James is at his guffawing best and Kenneth Williams' nasal-flaring
performance as the Khasi is amongst his finest performances.
Everything's in place and the result is absolutely sublime.
This
DVD also includes a dull commentary, some equally uninteresting
production stills and an episode of the dreadful Carry
On
TV series but none of these can detract from the class of
the main feature.
