Follow That Camel
Though not advertised as such, Follow That Camel was an entry in Britain's long-running 'Carry On' series. Phil Silvers stars as Sgt. Nocker, a self-styled hero of the Foreign Legion. Nocker's feet of clay are readily apparent to young recruit Bertram Oliphant West (Jim Dale), but 'orders is orders.' When the Arabs attack, however, Nocker saves the day with some clever conniving. The 'Carry On' team seems to be working at half-throttle here, perhaps in deference to the indefatigable Phil Silvers.

I can't say I had a great time with 'Follow That Camel,' but it's all clearly in good fun.
