the pure hell of st. trinians (1960)


"I've got all my assets on this boat, well till the fifth form grows up."
St. Trinian's has been burnt to the ground and the pupils are found guilty of arson. The judge places them into the care of a couple of child psychiatrists (Cecil Parker and Irene Handl). Meanwhile the sixth form are soon kidnapped and whisked off to an Arabian state. Closely followed by the Ministry of Education, Sgt. Gates (Joyce Grenfell), and an army bath unit. But their only chance of rescue is from St. Trinian's fourth form, the finest fighting force the British schooling system has ever produced.
The third installment sees the usual mayhem ensue.

blue murder at st. trinians (1957)


"Come on girls."
Flash (George Cole) is farming the girls out for marriage, and hits on the idea of fixing a schools competition to get the girls over to Italy and an eligible Italian prince. Fearing an imminent international incident the local police plant the hapless police woman Gates (Joyce Grenfell) as an interpreter. Also along for the ride is (Terry-Thomas), who is tricked into supplying the coaches for the trip. Add in a sub-plot about a diamond thief and you have the second installment of the hit comedy, and a fine one at that. Also watch out for Sabrina (the Jordan of her age), as one of the sixth form.
