Curiosidades
Sidney James and Jim Dale came up with the gag where a messenger is told to drop the message in to the basket and the Duc will read it later.

Pifias
The modern road leading to the Chateau.

Citas
Lady Binder: But then, you've always had magnificent balls, and I wouldn't miss one of them.
The Black Fingernail: Thank you Lady Binder.

Créditos adicionales
In this spoof of public executions via guillotine during the French Revolution, the one song listed in the onscreen Soundtrack credits has the song not "performed by" or "sung by", but rather "executed by".

Versiones alternativas
As usual with the Carry On films the BBFC objected to many of the lines when the script was submitted to them, though in the end only a few cuts were made. These included a reference to Jacqueline having 'a pluck' and a stuttered use of 'fishing' during the opening narration.

Sir Rodney Effing with two f's!!!

This probably ranks as one of the better carry ons certainly in the top 10 but not quite in the top 5. Its from the period when the team were making the historical/costume carry ons that yielded so many of the classic carry on's Cleo, Cowboy and of course Up The Khyber. This time its the turn of the Black Fingernail (Sid James) to ride to the rescue of the French Aristocracy able assisted by Lord Darcy Pugh (Jim Dale) opposed by Citizens Bidet (Petter Butterworth) and Cananbert (Kenneth Williams).

James is on top form and clearly relishes the chance to play the swash buckling hero much as he did in Cowboy he steals the show in this one as Williams isn't in the fine form he was in other historical carry ons such as Cleo and Kyhber. Dale provides able support as does Butterworth who began to become a more regular cast member through this period. Jaqueline Biset looks sumptuous as the love interest but some of the best lines go to the supporting characters of Joan Simms and Charles Hawtry.

If you love Carry On's you'll adore this if not this one probably wont be the one to convert you. Overall a good carry on not up there with Cleo and Up the Khyber etc but well worthy of a 7.5 out of 10.
