(Carry On) Don't Lose Your Head (1967) was the 13th movie in the franchise, and the first to be produced and distributed through the Rank Organisation rather than Anglo-Amalgamated. There were initial concerns in Rank that applying the 'Carry On' prefix might lead to legal complications with the previous distributors, so the movie was initially released as Don't Lose Your Head.
The setting is the French Revolution, and the efforts of Sir Rodney Ffing (the Black Fingernail) played by Sid James, in rescuing French aristocrats from the guillotine, with the help of Jim Dale and defying the head of the French Secret Police (Citizen Camembert - the Big Cheese) played by Kenneth Williams.
Joan Sims has one of the great Carry On lines, which was edited out in some releases.
She is discussing her aristocratic family, "My brother, the Count..."
(It was all in the delivery)
