Supposedly filmed with costumes and sets originally created for the Elizabeth Taylor Cleopatra, Cleo is, broadly, a spoof of that film: two Britons taken as slaves end up in the orbit of a henpecked Julius Caesar and lusty Marc Antony. It's all very silly and replete with puns. (Representative sample: "Infamy, infamy - they've all got it in for me!")

My first Carry On. It's supposed to be one of the best, which does not bode well for the rest.
