** Creator/BarbaraWindsor was originally offered three roles in the film (to be billed as "with odd appearances by Barbara Windsor") as part of the flashback discussion between the servants at the kitchen table. Namely the blonde in the pub with Creator/KennethConnor, the girl at London Zoo with Jack Douglas and the French girl met by Creator/PeterButterworth during the UsefulNotes/WorldWarII sequence.

* CreatorBacklash: Creator/KennethWilliams was not impressed with the vulgar script and said so in his diaries.
-->Read the ''Carry On Emmannuelle'' script. It's all about a nymphomaniac who does it with all kinds of people in all kinds of situations & keeps taking the pill. The denouement is that her one genuine lover switches placebos for the pill & she conceives. You begin with her wanking a steward on the Concorde. I found it monotonous and unfunny. When you get to her having the PM, the Judge, the Commissioner of Police etc. etc. with no variations whatsoever, the credibility is gone and there's nothing funny to redeem it. It's so far away from the sort of story which a ''Film/CarryOn'' used to have. All this seems to do is attempt to shock, whereas that element (like in ''[[Film/CarryOnNurse Nurse]]'' etc.) was incidental to the story. Sadly, I'll have to turn it down: it's a sad business 'cos [[Creator/GeraldThomas Gerald]] & [[Creator/PeterRogers Peter]] have been good to me, but with a script like this, I've no option.
