The first Carry On to be produced by the Rank Organisation, Don't Lose Your Head, was not conceived as a part of the series and was first released without the Carry On prefix. However, the ongoing popularity of the series persuaded Rank to add the prefix to the titles of this and the following film, Follow That Camel, when they were re-released.

French actress Dany Robin makes here her only Carry On appearance. The film was followed by Carry On Follow That Camel 1967.
