Carry On Up the Khyber
YOU'RE DRAFTED . . . to enjoy the laughs in the Latest and Funniest
Directed by Gerald Thomas
Produced by Peter Rogers Productions, The Rank Organisation
A broad, irreverent British comedy that mines absurdist humor from imperial-era stereotypes and physical comedy, with no pretense of seriousness.
Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond looks after the British outpost near the Khybar pass. Protected by the kilted Third Foot and Mouth regiment, you would think they were safe, but the Khazi of Kalabar has other ideas—he wants all the British dead. But his troops fear the 'skirted-devils, who are rumoured not to wear any underwear.
