carry on emmannuelle is the 30th in the series of "carry on" films to be made, and was released in november 1978. this was the last "carry on" film to be made until "carry on columbus" in 1992. the film was to be the final "carry on" for many regulars, including kenneth williams (in his 26th "carry on"), kenneth connor (in his 17th), joan sims (in her 24th) and peter butterworth (in his 16th). jack douglas is the only regular from this film to bridge the gap to "carry on columbus". beryl reid, henry mcgee and suzanne danielle make their only appearances in the series here. the film featured a change in style, becoming more openly sexual and explicit. this was highlighted by the implied behaviour of danielle's character, though she does not bare any more flesh than any other "carry on" female lead. these changes brought the film closer to the then popular series of x-rated "confessions..." comedies, or indeed the official "emmanuelle" films it parodies. this film, as well as the original cut of "carry on england" were the only films in the series to be certified aa by the british board of film censors, which restricted audiences to those aged 14 and over.

in his earlier "carry on" appearances, connor frequently played the romantic lead or other sympathetic roles (typically with an element of comically neurotic anxiety), while later appearances saw him play less sympathetic characters such as married men with wandering eyes and lascivious remarks. in "carry on nurse" (1959), his real-life son jeremy appeared as his character bernie bishop's son. in 1961, he starred with fellow "carry on" stars sid james and esma cannon in the comedy film "what a carve up!" in fact, in the 1959 – 1961 period, he was one of the most prominent leading men in british comedy films. as well as "what a carve up!" and the "carry on" films, other films he starred in during this period included "watch your stern" (1960), "nearly a nasty accident" (1961) and the "dentist" films. in 1960, he appeared as various characters in the "four feather falls" puppet series.
