St Trinian's (film)
St Trinian's is a 2007 British comedy film and the sixth in a long- running series of British films based on the works of cartoonist Ronald Searle set in St Trinian's School.
The first five films form a series, starting with" The Belles of St Trinian's" in 1954, with sequels in 1957, 1960, 1966 and 1980.
The release of 2007, 27 years after the last entry, and 53 years after the first film, is a rebooting of the franchise, rather than a direct sequel, with certain plot elements borrowed from the first film.
Whereas the earlier films concentrated on the adults, this film gives the school pupils greater prominence.
