Don't Lose Your Head is a 1967 movie that is the thirteenth instalment of the British Carry On film series. It stars Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Jim Dale, Charles Hawtrey, Peter Butterworth, Joan Sims, and popular French actress Dany Robin.This film is set in the time of the The French Revolution with allusions to The Scarlet Pimpernel, making this the second film in the series to be an Affectionate Parody that features a lot of Anachronism Stew. The execution of the French aristocrats is going strong under the watchful eye of the smug police chief Citizen Camembert (Williams) and his sidekick Citizen Bidet (Butterworth), until the British merchant Sir Rodney Ffing (James) - calling himself The Black Fingernail - and his sidekick Lord Darcy Pue (Dale) rescue the eccentric Duc de Pommfrit (Hawtrey) from the guillotine.After being threatened by his superior Citizen Robespierre (Peter Gilmore), Citizen Camembert goes undercover with Citizen Bidet and his lover Désirée Dubarry (Sims) to find the true identity of the Black Fingernail who has been rescuing the rich from their executions. They discover a beautiful young woman named Jacqueline (Robin), who has fallen for the Fingernail, and imprison her to catch him as Hilarity Ensues. | |

Artistic Licence – History: The aristocrats are all executed facing upwards towards the blade (understandably, since there are quite a lot of conversations had while they're waiting for the blade to drop). In real life they were executed facing down into the basket. The only person who was executed facing up was the real-life Robespierre. | |

Tempting Fate: At the end, facing the penalty of their failure, Citizens Camembert and Citizen Bidet console themselves with the thought that at least the Fingernail is not there to see it. As soon as they voice the thought, they learn that not only is he there to see them being guillotined, he's operating the guillotine himself. | |

The Stool Pigeon: In the second rose garden scene, Sir Rodney realises that Désirée knows he is the Black Fingernail (because he recognised the locket that he himself had earlier given to Jacqueline) and tells her not to tell Citizen Camembert this. She agrees, neither of them knowing that at that moment, Citizen Bidet was eavesdropping on them and he immediately rushed off to tell Citizen Camembert they now know who the Black Fingernail is. | |

Failed a Spot Check: Citizens Camembert and Bidet fail to notice a few times that some people they come across look the same or not what they're meant to look like, namely when Sir Rodney is in disguise, even when able to clearly see his face. This counts with Lord Darcy and Duc de Pommfrit as well when they are dressed as soldiers, up until the scenes in the Châteauneuf, where by now they know the truth. | |

The Un-Reveal: In-Universe. Duc de Pommfrit tells Désirée that he knows who the Black Fingernail is, but that he promised never to reveal his identity. Upon seeing Citizen Camembert a few minutes later, Duc de Pommfrit asks if he was looking for the Black Fingernail, surreptitiously removes a hammer from his sleeve, jokingly tells Citizen Camembert "There you are" and bangs one of Citizen Camembert's fingers with the hammer. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Don't Lose Your Head / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: One of the women watching the executions is wearing modern clothes. The Duc de Pommfrit's glasses are from 1948. Kilometres are visible on a signpost, despite metric measures not being introduced until a year after the terror. A zip is visible on Sir Rodney's collar when he is disguised as a woman, despite zips like that not being invented until 1851. While searching for Sir Rodney, Citizen Bidet finds a brassiere and pretends to use them as earmuffs, something that wouldn't be invented until 1873. The Duc de Pommfrit has a whistle with a pea; however, they wouldn't be invented for roughly another 100 years. There is a modern road leading to the Châteauneuf, and inside there are bottles of Dom Perignon. | |

Camp Straight | |
| Don't Lose Your Head / int_27c09b00 | comment |
Camp Straight: Duc de Pommfrit comes across as this, namely because of being played by Charles Hawtrey. Sir Rodney appears this way at first, given the lisp he occasionally talks with and the fact that in his first scene with dialogue, he refers to Lord Darcy as "my dear". The facade slips as soon as he uses his real voice. | |

Bilingual Bonus Determined to make sure that Duc de Pommfrit faces the guillotine, Citizen Camembert threatens that "the 'frit will meet his chips." Although obviously shortening Duc de Pommfrit's name, the French word "frites" is "chips" in English, so this is basically a Department of Redundancy Department. | |

Narcissist | |
| Don't Lose Your Head / int_30d4f2a | comment |
Narcissist: Citizen Camembert. If it wasn't for his bigheadedness and arrogance (which sometimes leads to incompetence on his part), he might have actually succeeded in capturing Sir Rodney. Examples: He's described in the opening voiceover as "the most dreaded man in all France", but, judging by the rest of the film, one can't help but wonder if it's a moniker he assigned to himself. Even when it's blatantly obvious he's caught Jacqueline instead of the Fingernail in disguise, he still can't own up to his mistake and starts trying to clutch at straws, and only stops when Citizen Robespierre yells at him to admit his error. He describes himself as "the finest pistol shot in France" and says the Fingernail is probably useless with any weapon, but Sir Rodney manages to get out of being killed by Citizen Camembert in their duel by tricking him into walking into the cesspit. When it's revealed he purloined the Châteauneuf from a now-dead French prince (who he had likely had killed anyway), he simply sneers "Never mind Jacques. I'm all right!" At the end, even when he is about to die, he still doesn't stop this, as he says he's the one who likely drew the crowd all on his own, wondering why anyone would want to see Citizen Bidet's head come off. | |

Lured into a Trap | |
| Don't Lose Your Head / int_34c3144b | comment |
Lured into a Trap: Citizens Camembert and Bidet do this twice to try and find out who the Black Fingernail is, and then to catch him. They do it first by going to the ball at Ffing House, and, after a flash of inspiration by Citizen Bidet, using the silver locket by having Désirée wear it and see who recognizes it. It works, but then after Citizen Camembert is tricked into revealing where Jacqueline is being held captive, he and Citizen Bidet are forced to use the Châteauneuf itself as a trap to capture the Black Fingernail once and for all. It ultimately doesn't work, as he is eventually able to escape. | |

Flipping the Bird: The Black Fingernail's calling card is a picture of a hand giving the two-finger version, with one fingernail blacked in. A scene early in the film shows that Sir Rodney became the Black Fingernail after hearing that nobody was lifting a finger to save the victims of the Revolution, and resolving that he would lift two. | |

Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Although more than two-thirds of the cast are playing French characters, only Jacqueline (played by the French actress Dany Robin) and Citizen Robespierre actually speak with a French accent. | |

Big "WHAT?!": Citizen Camembert after Citizen Bidet tells him that the insurance salesman and Duc de Pommfrit have escaped from the square. Seconds later, Citizen Camembert realizes the insurance salesman was the Black Fingernail after spotting his calling card. Citizen Camembert lets out another one when Sir Rodney (disguised as a soldier) tells him Citizen Bidet has caught someone in Jacqueline's old cell. | |

Smug Snake: Citizen Camembert, like most antagonists played by Kenneth Williams, has a comicly high opinion of himself in spite of sucessive failiures. Most of his wicked schemes fail due to his own arrogance, incompedence, Sir Rodney's cunning or a combination of all three. | |

Plot Hole | |
| Don't Lose Your Head / int_6331ba26 | comment |
Plot Hole: The bodies of the guillotined aristocrats disappear after they are executed. At the ball, Lord Darcy refers to Citizen Camembert and Désirée as a Duke and Duchess at first, yet after that they are always called a Count and Countess. How did Sir Rodney know Désirée would interrupt him during his duel with Citizen Camembert? Her interruption was what caused him to change the number of paces from ten to fifteen to cause Citizen Camembert to fall into the cesspit, yet if she never did, Sir Rodney's plan wouldn't have worked. After the duel, Sir Rodney has to ask where the Bastille is, despite the fact that he was there earlier in the film. The powder trail leading to the door of the Châteauneuf works, despite the fact there are several breaks in the trail. When did Sir Rodney learn Jacqueline's name? She never reveals it to him when they are together, yet he knows it as he tries to rescue her near the end of the film. Sir Rodney hits a soldier in the arm with a bottle, yet the soldier is knocked unconscious as if he had been hit in the head. | |

As for Citizens Camembert and Bidet, we only know them as this. Jacqueline too. Sir Rodney reveals this is her first name when he realizes Citizen Camembert is laying a trap for him inside the Châteauneuf, but that he still has to get her out. Also the Duc de Pommfrit, who's only referred to by his title and his name is never revealed. | |

Meaningful Name: Malabonce. "Mal" is french for "bad" or "evil", and bonce is a term for "head". Very appropriate, given that his job's an executioner. Désirée. She desires to marry a "nice man with a fortune, and a château, and a title." She is also the object of Duc de Pommfrit's desire and desires to be with Sir Rodney. In the end, she does get married, but not to Sir Rodney. Citizen Camembert as "the big cheese". | |

No points for guessing who is the protagonist and who is the antagonist. There are exceptions, as sometimes Sir Rodney wears black. After all, he is the Black Fingernail. When he first meets Jacqueline and in the climax he wears both white and black. Citizen Camembert does the same before he journeys to England with Citizen Bidet and Désirée. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| Don't Lose Your Head / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: When it looks like Sir Rodney has reneged on his bargain with Désirée, Citizen Bidet says it looks like she's just lost her newfound love. She responds by angrily smacking him in the face and knocking him into the cesspit with Citizen Camembert. Citizen Camembert and Citizen Bidet (though Citizen Camembert is the bigger asshole of the two) getting their comeuppance at the end. | |

Laser-Guided Karma: Citizen Camembert sending aristocrats to the guillotine, ends up executed the same way at the end. By Sir Rodney, who had earlier rescued numerous aristocrats from being killed in the same manner. | |

Double Take: Citizen Camembert at the beginning when Citizen Bidet alerts him to Malabonce having put the first aristocrat the wrong way round in the guillotine (with his feet in the path of the blade). Citizen Camembert after a fair few Double Entendres made by others. | |

Foreshadowing: Citizen Camembert says at the beginning that Malabonce will have to go. About fifteen minutes into the film, he does, courtesy of Citizen Camembert himself. Citizen Robespierre implicitly threatens Citizen Camembert twice and Citizen Bidet once with the guillotine early on in the film for their incompetence. This very fate befalls the two of them in the penultimate scene. Every time Désirée mentions marriage. In the final scene she is married, albeit to Duc de Pommfrit instead of Sir Rodney. | |

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: A moment of this happens in the Châteauneuf. A soldier aims a pistol at Lord Darcy and Duc de Pommfrit from the upper floor and Citizen Camembert yells at them to watch out for the furniture. The shot misses them and hits the vase on the table they're standing next to, shattering it. Citizen Bidet also grabs a pistol off the wall later but is knocked out before he can use it. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity: Sir Rodney and Lord Darcy, but in particular Sir Rodney, when Citizen Camembert comes to England and tries to inquire about the Black Fingernail. Namely so they don't give away the fact that the Black Fingernail is Sir Rodney himself. He also does this during the duel, and it gets him out alive. Désirée does this to cover up the fact that Sir Rodney smashed through a window to get into the Châteauneuf, claiming to have accidentally broken it herself. | |

Citizen Bidet near the end of the scene in the Châteauneuf.

Shortly followed by a My God, What Have I Done? on Citizen Camembert's part. Citizen Camembert the first time Citizen Robespierre tells him he will be sent to the guillotine if he doesn't capture the Black Fingernail. Sir Rodney and Lord Darcy exchange worried looks first when Citizen Camembert tells them he feels sure he will soon find out who the Black Fingernail is, and again when Désirée tells Citizen Camembert that Duc de Pommfrit knows his (the Black Fingernail's) identity. Citizen Camembert has another when he realizes he has told the Black Fingernail (who was disguised at the time) where Jacqueline has been moved to, the one thing he wanted to keep secret. Citizen Bidet in the Powder Trail moment mentioned below, seconds before the explosion. Citizen Camembert in the Châteauneuf when Citizen Bidet accidentally knocks a chunk out of the pillar. Citizens Camembert and Bidet at the end when it is revealed Sir Rodney is the executioner who is about to finish them both off. Then again before they're both killed. | |

The Door Slams You: In Calais, Citizen Bidet gets out of the coach and shuts the door behind him. Right in Citizen Camembert's face. At the Châteauneuf, Citizen Bidet attempts to lock the double doors to prevent Sir Rodney's escape and is slammed behind one of them as Lord Darcy and Duc de Pommfrit come to Sir Rodney's aid. When he recovers, he tries again, and is slammed behind the other door as Duc de Pommfrit re-enters the fight. | |

Idle Rich | |
| Don't Lose Your Head / int_deea2fb5 | comment |
Idle Rich: Before they set off to save French aristocrats from execution, Sir Rodney and Lord Darcy were rich men in a fancy mansion in the countryside that spent their spare time womanizing, having fancy parties, and fishing with beautiful women. | |

| Don't Lose Your Head / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: Some names change in the Hungarian dub: Lord Darcy's surname becomes "Puff" instead of "Pue". The Duc de Pommfrit becomes "Prince Soufflé". Citizen Camembert and Désirée's names to enter Ffing House are now the "Count and Countess of Plumderelye". | |

Pimped-Out Dress: A lot of them. Désirée wears a few, including the pink one at Ffing House and the one she acquires from the wardrobe at the Châteauneuf. Jacqueline also wears one from when she's imprisoned in the Bastille to when she's seen again at the Châteauneuf. | |

Dark Is Evil: Citizen Camembert dresses mainly in black clothing and is the main antagonist. Citizen Bidet also gets in on it by wearing mainly dark clothing, in particular his black hat, before going all black in Ffing House. | |

Distracted by the Sexy | |
| Don't Lose Your Head / int_f10d3363 | comment |
Distracted by the Sexy: In the scene where Citizen Bidet reveals he got the silver locket from Jacqueline, he's distracted by Désirée twice, and the second time, Désirée asks him what he's gawping at, before asking Citizen Camembert to tell Citizen Bidet to "take his hot, sticky eyes off me". Citizen Camembert invokes the trope when he advises Désirée to use the locket around her neck to lure the Fingernail, even if it means she has to dance with several men before she's successful. This happens a third time in the Châteauneuf after Sir Rodney finally gets to Jacqueline. He's about to kiss her again, when Désirée reminds him he's supposed to be getting them out of there. | |

| Don't Lose Your Head / int_f360fc33 | comment |
Dumbass Has a Point: Citizen Bidet says that after Citizen Camembert has the Black Fingernail in his office disguised as a woman (after they realize it), if they're quick, they can catch him before he can get out of the city, to which Citizen Camembert agrees. Offset by the Black Fingernail disguising himself as their coachman to get through the roadblocks. He also brings up the locket at Ffing House and how the Black Fingernail could be capable of anything. Not only is he right, he reminds Citizen Camembert about the fact that he had the locket in the first place, giving the latter the idea to trap the Fingernail with it. | |

Comically Missing the Point: When the Black Fingernail steals Citizen Camembert's horse in Calais, Citizen Bidet spots the calling card and shouts, "The Black Fingernail!" Citizen Camembert responds by thinking aloud that it would be impossible for the Black Fingernail to impersonate the horse, even for a master of disguise. | |

Department of Redundancy Department | |

Determined to make sure that Duc de Pommfrit faces the guillotine, Citizen Camembert threatens that "the 'frit will meet his chips." Although obviously shortening Duc de Pommfrit's name, the French word "frites" is "chips" in English, so this is basically a Department of Redundancy Department. | |
