Carry On Behind is a 1975 film in the British Carry On series of comedies.
As with all the films in the series, it was directed by Gerald Thomas and produced by Peter Rogers. It was the first to be written by Dave Freeman, following the departure of Talbot Rothwell. It starred Carry On regulars Kenneth Williams, Bernard Bresslaw, Peter Butterworth, Joan Sims, Kenneth Connor, Jack Douglas, and Patsy Rowlands, along with newcomers to the series Windsor Davies and European sex symbol Elke Sommer. Ian Lavender, Adrienne Posta, Liz Fraser, George Layton, Larry Dann and David Lodge appear in supporting roles.
By this time, Sid James, Hattie Jacques and Charles Hawtrey had left the series.

[edit] Plot Summary
Professor Roland Crump (Williams) takes Russian Professor Vooshka (Sommer) on an archeological expedition to find Roman remains on a caravan site. Connor is Major Leep, the pompous owner of the caravan site. Site guests include butcher Fred and electrician Ernie (Davies and Douglas) who plan to misbehave on a holiday away from their wives, and suburban husband and wife Arthur and Linda (Bresslaw and Rowlands) with nagging mother-in-law Daphne (Sims). Butterworth is odd-job man Barnes, virtually a reprise of his role as Joshua Fiddler in Carry On Camping (1968). Professor Vooshka has much difficulty getting her tongue around various English words and phrases causing Crump much embarrassment. Leep variously tries to improve the site and organise a social evening but thanks to the ineptitude of Barnes and his other workers, all these attempts fail miserably and Leep is left "feeling a right arse".
[edit] Filming
It was filmed in and around Pinewood Studios in the winter of 1975. The bare trees, muddy fields and icy breath are all quite visible, although the setting is a summer caravanning holiday.
The location of the Caravan Park was the same field used for the campsite in Carry On Camping.
[edit] Critique
This film is often cited as very much a retread of Carry On Camping (1968), with caravans in place of tents.
