The Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery Reviews & Ratings - IMDb IMDb 17 January 2017 8:34 AM, PST NEWS 15 out of 16 people found the following review useful: Fun as the comedy series gets back on track. from Stockton, England 19 October 2003 I really wasn't expecting to enjoy this movie. After all, the previous film in this series, 'The Pure Hell Of' was a bit of a disappointment and the question was, six years later, could this movie get the series back on track? The answer is yes, 'The Great St Trinian's Train Robbery', after a slightly slow start, is a very funny movie, the funniest in the series since 'Blue Murder'. Learning from the mistakes of 'Pure Hell', this movie returns to the school-based comedy that we all know and love. It has its faults, of course. For example some of the series' most familiar faces are absent (there is no Alistair Sim or Joyce Grenfell, for example), while a sadly ill-looking Eric Barker appears only for a few seconds.

But all in all, the influx of new faces (including the likes of Frankie Howerd and Dora Bryan) works to the movie's advantage. Also the rail track capers that conclude the movie are very funny indeed. The less said about the awful theme song, the better I think, but any movie that contains the line 'Knock them about democratically' deserves to be remembered.

Father Christmas. The Easter Bunny. The Tooth Fairy. Not me, though. I was different - I believed in St. Trinian's school. I was convinced in fact until I was at least twenty that this school was actually a real place. I'm not a stupid person by any means, so it must have been because I wanted such a place to exist that I spent most of my time in the library browsing phone directories in a fruitless effort to discover exactly where it was.

I thought I had it narrowed down to the Home Counties somewhere in Hertfordshire or Bedfordshire, and was quite prepared to try and visit the place in person and leer at all those sixth-form schoolgirls in their gym-slips, stockings and suspenders. The best day of my life was probably when we had a fancy dress day at school and a couple of my female class-mates turned up in a replica uniform, and boy, did they look good! I'm not sure what the teachers thought, because they were only about thirteen I should think, and they definitely were wearing the stockings and suspenders! These days of course the politically correct brigade would do all they can to prevent young girls dressing like this (even though it was all in good fun and for charity) and these films are often treated in the same way by many reviewers - with scorn and ridicule. The "girls" in the film who are wearing the full "sixth form" stockings and suspenders style uniform are of course well over the age of sixteen and into adulthood, though that doesn't stop some people wondering that maybe films like this encourage paedophilia and turning young girls into sex objects.

Maybe there are some dangerous people out there who get a hard-on over uniforms and schoolgirls by watching this film, but I would hope that most, like me, were schoolboys themselves when they first saw this film, and that kind of makes it alright. It's all a bit of harmless fun, and like the "Carry On" films and other more politically incorrect 'stockings and suspenders' stuff where women are shown as sex objects first and characters after (Vicki Michele from "Allo Allo" is a good example), it's true to say they don't make stuff like this any more. St. Trinian's itself, the brainchild of artist Ronald Searle (as I later discovered!), is seen here for the first time in colour. This, "The Great Train Robbery", is the fourth in the series. A little-known and less-often seen fifth film from 1980 is "The Wildcats of St. Trinian's". As is usual with long-running franchises such as this, the quality does tale of noticeably with each instalment. This film, though not in the same league as the first "Belles of St.

Trinians" in 1954, comes across as "Citizen Kane" in comparison to the very weak "Wildcats" entry in 1980. The main advantage this has over the first three is probably the fact that it is in colour. Unlike most people, I happen to think that St. Trinians rocks. I always have done. I wanted to go to school there. I still do. Words cannot describe how disappointed I was when I found out it didn't really exist. In this day and age of political correctness, it probably never will again - and that's a bit sad. 7/10 Was the above review useful to you? 8 out of 8 people found the following review useful: Rail capers from United Kingdom 11 March 2007 I remember seeing this in the cinema when it first came out. It is a lame version of the St TRINIANS films as were released in the fifties, but it had Frankie Howerd and Dora Bryan, among my favourites. The sad thing is they just don't make these sort of films any more,. True, ribald,funny British films.

Just like Will Hay, the Carry On Films and Maragret Rutherford films: no politically correct nonsense, no fears of misinterpretation of paedophilia, no forced representation of different cultural groups, just good old British fun like a good dollop of treacle pudding with custard. People just took more responsibility for stuff back then without complaining about every damn thing!. That's why I like this film - that and of an England we are sadly losing! The film itself does get very boring when they are racing up and down the tracks but it is well done and I can recognise some of the places. Was the above review useful to you? 11 out of 17 people found the following review useful: Generally a bit of a waste from United Kingdom 15 December 2003 When the Tories are beaten by Labour, public servants rejoice at the potential for public schools to be scrapped (in particular - St Trinians). However the new Minister for Education gives them a massive grant instead - although his Government don't know that he is helping his mistress to set back up the criminal exploits of the school. Trouble starts though, when the school is resituated in a building where train robbers have hidden their loot.

In full colour and without the original girls of the series, this film looks to have potential simply on the basis of the talented cast involved. The plot is silly, but when did that ever matter with this stuff? The plot gets a little laboured at the start in the effort to reopen the school and place it in the middle of a train robbers' plan. This doesn't matter too much as it does eventually break away into a more free-flowing chase at the end. However, despite their being plenty for the film to do, it is surprising just how little actually happens, how little impact the film makes and how little any one character has to do. This is most evident in the waste of good comedy actors. The loss of two or three main girls in the cast has reduced the girls to just an unidentifiable mass of unruly girls. This is a problem to start with, but should have been covered by the talented cast. Sadly none really have much to do and much to work with. Frankie Howerd has a few good lines but nowhere near his ability, Cole does his usual stuff but has almost nothing to do.

Terry Scott shows his face for about 3 lines, while others like Huntley, Bryan, Varney and so on are really not well used. Overall this film starts slow and poorly however, like a train, slowly builds up a reasonable head of steam for an energetic conclusion. That said, it isn't really very funny and you can't help but watch and spend more time looking at the missed potential.

The story, cashing in on the recent Great Train Robbery, features Dora Bryan filling Alistair Sim's shoes as headteacher, and the biggest role goes to Frankie Howerd as leader of a gang of thieves trying to recover the proceeds of a robbery which were hidden in the premises now occupied by St Trinians. Like all little boys, I loved - and love - railways. I can't explain why, it's just that there is something special about things travelling on rails.

And the final section of this movie satisfies on that level, with a frenetic and funny sequence of five assorted rail vehicles chasing each other up and down a relatively short section of line. It was never going to win an Oscar, but it entertains perfectly adequately.

I actually don't like these silly girls waving tennis rackets & hockey sticks around and "frightening" adults in the process & George Cole (Flash Harry) irritates me in everything he's ever done; yet I still love this film, for everything BUT the ludicrous schoolgirls and Mr Cole. The plot is quite simple; a gang of bank-robbers stash the loot from a train robbery in the cellar of an abandoned house, but before they can collect it the "infamous" girls of St. Trinians are billeted there, having burned down their own building.

The robbers pose as caterers on school Open Day and recover a lorry-load of cash but get disturbed by the girls and a chase then ensues involving all manner of weird and wonderful people who all want to get their hands on the reward. There's also a very funny sub-plot involving Richard Wattis as a civil servant investigating the criminal activities of ALL the staff and trying desperately to get the school closed down. Frankie Howerd is hilarious throughout as the gang leader who eventually escapes from the police disguised as a Pakistani railway worker and the scene where he 'clobbers' a Morris Dancer and has to take his place is NOT to be missed. Morris dancing is daft enough as it is but Frankie Howerd's "attempt" will have you roaring with laughter: "Just keep dancing, I'll explain everything later." Arthur Mullard is priceless as the dim-witted "heavy" of the gang, Big Jim, and the running gag involving a railway points lever is also essential viewing. I also liked Reg Varney as the 'serious' member of the gang who gets flustered to the point of homicidal rage by the stupidity of the others.

The film is very well directed, beginning slowly and gradually working up to a frantic pace as the chase gets under way. If you can ignore the silly schoolgirls and George - yawn - Cole I'm sure you'll really enjoy this film.

If you have seen the other films, you know the formula. The St Trinian's schoolgirls are little terrors who frighten the life out of authority and everyone else. The teachers are boozers, smokers, fighters, and gamblers. Put these together and the plot will sizzle. Not as good as the others, and drags a bit towards the end, but it is a fun film which diverts for at least an hour.

TRINIAN'S TRAIN ROBBERY was the last of the St. Trinian's quartet (until the unwise attempt at revamping the series in 1980 with WILDCATS) and, to my mind, the most entertaining of the bunch. Whereas the earlier instalments of the 1950s were in black and white, quite slow moving and dated in their humour - nope, I don't find the sight of Alistair Sim in drag particularly funny - this is more like the British comedy films of the '60s and '70s that I know and love. Headlining the cast is Frankie Howerd - hooray! - as a criminal mastermind who's successfully carried out a train robbery with his crooked gang, including plenty of familiar faces (such as Reg Varney of ON THE BUSES fame). The only problem is that the loot is hidden in an old building now inhabited by the St.

Trinian's gang, so retrieving it is going to be tricky. What follows is a quirky escapade full of the usual hooliganism and outrageous shenanigans as a battle of wits ensues between schoolgirls, teachers and robbers. George Cole is back as Flash Harry, although as usual he has little to do, but Dora Bryan is great value as quirky headmistress Amber Spottiswood. Watch out too for Eric Barker, Michael Ripper and Terry Scott popping up in brief roles. Things really pick up for the extended climax set on the train tracks. Steam trains and carriages are flying back and forth to great effect and the film reaches farcical levels at this point, ending on a high. Was the above review useful to you? Jolly Hockey Sticks Part 4. from United Kingdom 24 March 2016 The fourth part of the St. Trinian's themed films is the first to be shot in colour, and also the point where someone should have realised that this series had run out of steam.

Based on Ronald Searle's demonic schoolgirls, this outing cribs off of the topical Great Train Robbery of the 60s, retains George Cole as a reassuring presence, while adding Dora Bryan and Frankie Howerd for some acting solidification. It's not a bad film as such, in fact the last quarter, where a whole host of train shenanigans come into play, is great fun, it's just that it feels tired, less risky, like the makers were hedging their bets to get a box office winner (which came to fruition). Fast framing is a bit of a cheat, Howerd is wasted - or sleepwalking through the film? But Bryan is on hand for a bit of quality while the girls are all boisterous and minxy. Enjoyable enough for those so inclined, even if it's utterly forgettable come the final credits. 6/10 Was the above review useful to you? 1 out of 2 people found the following review useful: The weakest film in the series 28 January 2015 *** This review may contain spoilers *** The fourth, last and weakest of the original "St. Trinian's" films, it never really takes off.

It is an attempt to modernise the series which is not terribly successful. As the title would suggest, it was inspired by the Great Train Robbery in 1963, which is kind of interesting but the idea is not used well. There is some nice light satire of Labour's policies and sex scandals with the Minister for Schools Sir Horace's affair with the new headmistress Amber Spottiswood but there are no belly laughs unlike in the first three films. The train robbery plot is a parody of the Bond films but it falls flat. The attempt to modernise the films mean that it has dated far worse than the first three films, though that wouldn't be a problem if it was a better than average film. The main problem with the storyline is that focuses far too much on the adults and far too little on the students, even less than in "The Pure Hell of St. Trinians". It has a great cast including Frankie Howerd, George Cole, Richard Wattis (who was absent from the previous film), Raymond Huntley, Dora Bryan, Michael Ripper, George Benson and Colin Gordon.

However, Cole is wasted in a smaller role than in the first three films and the absence of Joyce Grenfell and Lloyd Lamble is very noticeable. On the bright side, Michael Ripper - the only actor besides Cole to appear in all four films - has his biggest role in the series and he also has the best line in the film: "That headmistress is his concubine!"

Trinian's Reviews & Ratings - IMDb IMDb 17 January 2017 8:34 AM, PST NEWS 17 out of 17 people found the following review useful: 'Castaway' - starring Flash Harry from Hampshire, England 18 March 2005 There's just something utterly magical about the first three St. Trinian's films. Almost every character in them is played by an actor recognisable from over fifty other British films of the time, and they frequently have the best cast lists of comic talent ever seen in a British comedy. Quite often a film with a cast this distinguished can turn out to be a grave disappointment (such a fate befell efforts like "The Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins", in which most of the effort on the part of the film-makers seemed to have been in actually recruiting the actors, rather than giving them anything worthwhile to perform). However, "Pure Hell", like "Belles" and "Blue Murder" before it, has a script and a story good enough to support the weight of these amassed comedy greats, most of whom you'll probably never have heard of.

They're usually actors who appeared in loads of films of the period, and you'd never have thought of making a film at the time without them, but who never became stars in their own right - chaps like Raymond Huntley and Nicholas Phipps (most memorable in "Doctor in Love" as the frankly spiffing Dr. Cardew). Those actors who, if you're a vintage comedy connoisseur like me, you'll see and then go "Ahhh, yes!" As well as an admirable leading performance from Cecil Parker (taking over from Terry-Thomas in the last film as the guesting star), we have marvellous return appearances from the likes of Joyce Grenfell as Sergeant Ruby Gates, Lloyd Lamble as the superintendent who got engaged to her 16 years ago and still hasn't tied the knot (they almost achieve it, twice, in this film), Eric Barker as the civil servant Culpepper-Brown, Michael Ripper as the philosophical lift attendant, and, of course, George Cole as the best spiv in the business, Flash Harry. Quite why I think he's so class I don't know - I mean, he quite obviously *is* top notch, but I can't put my finger on why.

He's just... hurrah! It's Flash! With his cockney lingo and jaunty theme music (yes, it's here again, punctuating most of his scenes and it never gets tiresome)! We also have the likes of Thorley Walters (hurrah!), Dennis Price (double hurrah!) and John le Mesurier (HURRAH!) as various members of the civil service, and Raymond Huntley, Cyril Chamberlain, Nicholas Phipps and Sid James making random appearances (actually, the double act of Eric Barker and Thorley Walters is one of the continued highlights of this film), and even some scenes with perhaps the best comedy actress there ever was, Irene Handl (probably best known for having played Peter Sellers wife in "I'm All Right Jack). Irene always seems to play these "posh commoner" roles, with wonderful lines like "So what bit of culture are you going to have a bash at then?", effortlessly stealing most of the laughs in whatever scene she appears in. That's another reason to love the film - genuine wit.

Whilst a lot of comedies of the period tended to rely on farce and gurning and people falling over, such scenes are kept to a minimum here (and, furthermore, even when they do happen they're actually amusing), with witty lines and comments being brought to the fore instead. There's far too many to choose from, but my favourite probably has to be in a scene where Cecil Parker, George Cole and Joyce Grenfell are stuck in a boat in the middle of the ocean, sipping tea like the stiff-upper-lipped British citizens that they are. "Stranded in the middle of the ocean," Parker laments mournfully, "With only enough food and water to last us for... six months; two sugars please." Lines like this are delivered in a dry throwaway manner and just tickled me all the way through. The plot in this is far more complicated than those of the other films in the series, with most of the action being focused on the civil servants and adult characters, as opposed to the schoolgirls themselves. But the rambling story, which at one point seems to have ten plot lines running and intertwining at once, takes on a wonderfully surreal quality which further adds to the majesty of it all.

In one scene, Parker, Cole, Grenfell, Barker and Walters are stuck out in a desert market place sipping tea at a cafe, and Phipps and Chamberlain, British soldiers in disguise, sit down at the table next to them. Chamberlain leans back to Walters to try and give his identity. CHAMBERLAIN: "Psst. I'm a-" WALTERS: "No, sorry, I don't want any postcards thank you." ... PHIPPS: "Well, what did he say?" CHAMBERLAIN: "He said he didn't want any post cards." PHIPPS: "Oh... You haven't got any have you?" Oh, and as for the schoolgirls, though they don't appear that often (and when they do it's usually the fourth formers, played by child actors), there are a few "sixth formers" dotted about - the glamorous twenty-something year old actresses dressed in uniforms and the shortest skirts you're ever likely to see. The initial courtroom scene contains a slow pan up the most gorgeous of the lot, with her... legs, and everything, and my word, by jove, indeed. Ha ha.

It's a quaint British comedy and I'm feeling a trifle warm just thinking about. I should have taken the tablets. The film does at times seem to be running out of steam, but there's usually another random plot twist to pull it back into shape. Though I probably still prefer "Blue Murder" for the sheer Terry-Thomas factor, "Pure Hell" is only slightly less marvellous, and stands up as a true comedy classic in its own right. Especially for dull 50s/60s comedy fans like me. 9/10 from Stockton, England 22 September 2003 The Pure Hell Of St Trinian's, the third movie in the series, never approaches the comic heights of the first two. Part of this is down to the absence of Alistair Sim, but also it is due to a script that switches the emphasis largely away from the school and places it more on the men from the Ministry Of Education. For long stretches you can hardly spot a schoolgirl, while the movie lacks a strong comic climax.

You can also see a lack of inspiration at work here, as the Grenfell-Parker `romance' is more or less a replay of (the better handled) relationship with Terry-Thomas in the previous movie, while the whole 'desert island' business seems designed to fill up the movie's running-time. If it's not as fun as `Belles' or `Blue Murder', `Pure Hell' does have its good points. Cecil Parker's down-at-heel headmaster is a major asset to the movie, while it's nice to see the likes of Sid James, Denis Price and Liz Frazer make an appearance. The comic high-points come early in the movie, with Raymond Huntley stealing the movie as a Judge distracted by the charms of a leggy Sixth-Former, while later the 'striptease' Hamlet provides the film's most memorable moment. Irene Handle is also on top form as a more than slightly batty teacher. It's not the best of the series by a long way, but forty or so years on it is still worth watching.

This film is very interesting as a part of our British cultural heritage, and a window on a time when Pythonesque humour was developing. The idea of a British schoolgirl being a stripper in a club called "Mohammed's" in "Arabia" may seem awfully non-PC today, but the other characters are also caricatures of British types. I particularly enjoyed the British Officer in the "Bath" unit and his preoccupation with Scotch. But as another reviewer has said, George Cole is outstanding. Great fun. from Bristol, England 1 November 2000 This is the final of the three original St. Trinian's films. Alastair Sim doesn't appear in this one, which leaves quite a space but is filled well by new characters and extensions of existing ones. The plot is a lot different from the 2 before, in that it's more surreal.

In the other 2, the fact that Flash Harry, a police woman and a professor would become stranded on a desert island wouldn't have happened. Neither would the storming of an Arab sheiks palace. The charceters of Sergeant Ruby Gates (Joyce Grenfell) and Flash Harry (George Cole) are explored much more, with us learning things like Harry's middle name and where Ruby's mother lives. Fantastic performances form the whole cast but I think Cole and Grenfell steal the show. Comedy at its best. Watch out for the scene in the strippers club. Watch Harry's face. Probably the best comedy without words ever.

However the judge decides mercy and takes up the offer of one Professor Canford to open a new school with a backer and try to change the girls.

The backer, Alphonse O'Reilly, takes the whole school on a trip to Europe, but Flash Harry finds that the ship is actually on it's way to Africa, where Alphonse plans to sell the older girls into harems! This entry in the series starts really well. Not only does it have what I consider to be a great line (`there's always trouble when there's arson around') but the courtroom stuff is very funny. The rest of the film from there starts to tail off, the continuation of the film sees the old characters come back in (mostly) are this is good. However once the action moves to Africa etc it all becomes a little silly but doesn't manage to be fun for it. The action gets more frantic and less amusing as it goes along and, by the end of the whole thing, I'd pretty much lost interest in it. The cast are reasonably good. The girls are in two camps  the young thugs and the sexy `girls' (albeit it they are happily in their 20's). The support cast includes good performances from George Cole (complete with cheeky chappy music in case you didn't get it).

Parker and Grenfell are OK but their stuff on the island doesn't really wash. Barker and Walters are fine, as is a cameo from Le Mesurier, but Sid James is pretty wasted. Overall this is worth seeing if you like the series (although it fades throughout the 90 minutes), but there are better films in the series if you're just coming in now. Was the above review useful to you? 9 out of 11 people found the following review useful: Classic gentle heart-warming humour from Bath, UK 18 October 2001 There is something beautifully reassuring and warm about this film. The story is almost incidental to the characters. It is packed with superb performances and is a feast of character actors. The comedy is often subtle, but beautifully presented. It ranges from slapstick to the pure surrealism. The bizarre military bath unit stationed in the desert, the ballet-dancing civil servants, the desert island cookery - all superb. The civil servant chap handing over his wallet had me in stitches too. Its innocence is wonderful, although if you look a little closer the darker side is visible, along with lots of little touches that give the whole thing surprising depth. It isn't going to suit everybody.

I don't expect too many Americans or teenagers to get the point. It is however a superb piece of work.

They are found guilty but set free by the judge. The girls are taken on a ship, supposedly going to the Greek Isles. The ever lovelorn Sargeant Gates (the wonderful Joyce Grenfell) goes to meet up with them to see whats going on. She ends up on a desert island with Flash Harry (George Cole) and another man who has designs on her. Will they save the girls? Do they need saving? This film is not as good as the other two, since it deemphasizes the girls. Its a lot more of an adult film, they are much more prominent. Its not bad, just not quite as good. As for whether Sargeant Gates gets married..see the film.

Its fine, just not essential unless you want to watch the series (all 4 films are available in a box set but unfortunately with no extras). So, check it out if you want to.

This installment in the original and classic St. Trinian's films doesn't actually take place at St. Trinian's at all! The school is a pile of embers at the top of the first reel! Gone, too, is Alistair Sim (everyone's favorite Scrooge) in the drag double role as headmistress and her brother. The up side is this allows more shenanigans from the likes of Joyce Grenfell (a personal favorite) and the supporting cast. But with school girls of St. Trins only set decoration, it's just not the same. There's a remake of the original that's also spawned two sequels (Rupert Everett subs for Sim) but these are inferior goods - stick to the glorious black and white originals! Was the above review useful to you?

Not so bad, but not so good either! 31 October 2016 *** This review may contain spoilers *** Alastair Sim is sadly missed from this St. Trinian's episode, and what is even worse, his replacement, Cecil Parker (as a Professor Canford), gives us a performance that is considerably below his best work. His heart was obviously not in it! Fortunately, there are at least three bright scenes, but generally speaking, Frank Launder's direction is as flat-footed as his script (on which he collaborated with Sidney Gilliat and Val Valentine). The movie's credits tell us that this script was "suggested by the cartoons of Ronald Searle." I know for a fact that Mr. Searle was not at all happy with this ascription and seriously considered taking the movie-makers to court, but was dissuaded by the fact that such a measure would give the movie even more publicity. And as we all know, publicity is publicity, and in the movie business it doesn't really matter if it's good or bad! Was the above review useful to you?

Not on the same level as the first two films 28 January 2015 *** This review may contain spoilers *** It has some hilarious moments - particularly the opening trial sequence and the striptease to the soliloquy from "Hamlet" - but it's on the same level as the first two films. As I said yesterday, Alastair Sim's virtual absence from "Blue Murder at St. Trinian's" was a blow to the film while his complete absence from this one is a major blow to it. Considering the importance of Miss Fritton to the first film and the fact that the school burns down, it's bizarre that she isn't even mentioned. The idea of the sixth formers being kidnapped and becoming a sheik's harem is a belter but the script isn't as well developed as it could be. Miss Harker-Packer and Alphonse O'Reilly are established as important characters but they both just disappear from the film. The fact that Miss Harker-Packer was only recently released from a mental institution could have led to some fantastic jokes but, like herself, it's more or less forgotten about.

One thing about the film that bothered me was that it focused on the adults as opposed to the students. Those criticisms aside, however, there is a steady stream of good jokes throughout the film, such as Flash Harry's unique way with words. In Sim's absence, Cecil Parker - a wonderful character actor who is best known for his role as Todhunter in "The Lady Vanishes", which was also written by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat - is a very worthy substitute as Professor Canford (who is not a woman). He is hilarious in the role and has great chemistry with Joyce Grenfell as Ruby Gates, who makes her third and final appearance in the "St. Trinian's" film series. The same is true of Lloyd Lamble as Sammy Kemp-Bird, her characteristically and increasingly reluctant fiancé. As well as those already mentioned, the film has a great cast, particularly George Cole, Thorley Walters (who played a major in "Blue Murder at St. Trinian's"), Dennis Price, Sid James, Raymond Huntley, John Le Mesurier and Michael Ripper.

Until the end, — Girls Aloud , St. Trinian's (2007) St Trinian's is a film series based on a series of cartoons by Ronald Searle (who also was responsible for the molesworth books and Dick Deadeye, or Duty Done). The films are set in a disreputable girls' school where the only rule is that there are no rules. The girls themselves are teen and pre-teen horrors who are not above using their feminine wiles to get away with murder. The teachers? They're teaching the girls how to get away with crime in foreign countries and mixing drinks. The headmistress, Miss Fritton, has no interest in maintaining any form of order. And there's a local spiv, Flash Harry, who makes money from whatever schemes the girls cook up (usually). The original film series consists of: The Belles of St. Trinian's (1954): The decrepit school is desperately in need of some money, so the headmistress allows the girls to place bets on a horserace.

Things get out of hand when the classes place bets on rival horses. Blue Murder at St. Trinian's (1957): Flash Harry (George Cole here) sets up a marriage agency, resulting in a prince wanting to meet the girls. Problems arise when the jewel-thief father of one of the girls decides to hide out at the school. The Pure Hell of St. Trinian's (1960): The girls are kidnapped and forced to defend themselves against the sons of an Arabian Emir, who want them as their wives. The Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery (1966): The school takes over a mansion in which thieves have hidden money. The series was revived in 1980 with The Wildcats of St. Trinian's. In this movie, Joe Melia replaced George Cole as Flash Harry, and the film was not a success. The franchise would have to wait 27 more years before a new film came out, this time simply called St. Trinian's (St. Trinian's School for (Bad) Girls in DVD release). In this one, the school is threatened with foreclosure by the bank and the ultra-conservative Minister of Education.

Faced with threats from all sides, the girls decide to pull off the biggest heist ever concocted by a bunch of teenagers. This one features Colin Firth as the Minister of Education, and thus avoids the Celebrity Paradox by making jokes about Another Country , Pride and Prejudice and Girl with a Pearl Earring . It's also notable for having Colin Firth and Rupert Everett perform "Love is in the Air" over the end credits. There was also a poorly-received (though not bad) sequel, St. Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold , in 2009 (featuring former Doctor Who star David Tennant as the villain). A third film is planned. St. Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold has it's own page. Tropes that span the entire St.Trinian's franchise: Amazon Brigade : The field hockey team. In the older movies, it would be the fourth formers. Can be applied to pretty much the entire group when they get going. Badass Creed : "At other schools, they send young girls unprepared into a cold merciless world. But here at St.

Trinian's, it is the merciless world which must be prepared." The theme song for the 2007 and 2009 films (quoted at the top of this page) is heavily implied to be, at least in part, a school song. Students can be heard chanting part of it before the hockey game in the first movie ("Feel the fear; we're maniacs.") and quietly singing the chorus before going into battle in the sequel. There is also a line from the school song from the older films: Let our motto be broadcast: "Get your blow in first!" She who draws the sword last always comes off worst! Berserk Button : Don't mess with any of the girls. If you do, the rest of the school will pay you their full attention. Black and Gray Morality : In an oddly comic way. The girls are criminal Karma Houdinis who should be in juvenile detention at the very least. In spite of this they are usually not as bad as their enemies, and they are loyal to their friends and their school. Whatever they get up to is however usually very funny as well. Honest John's Dealership : Flash Harry Inspired By : St.

Trinnean's School in Edinburgh, established by Miss C. Fraser Lee in 1922 and was believed to operate on an extremely relaxed theory of educational freedom. Ronald Searle created the first of the St. Trinian's cartoons after meeting the daughters of a couple he knew, who went to the real school. He tried tried to imagine what kind of school would produce the pair of pre-teen hellraisers, and created a British institution. Fans of the movies may be disappointed to learn that the reality is nothing like fiction. The school differed from other middle-class girls' boarding schools only in that the students were allowed to determine their own homework schedules. At the time, though, this was seen as revolutionary and somewhat suspect. (Also, the school had a lacrosse team rather than field hockey.) Karma Houdini : The girls are guilty of everything from forgery to kidnapping, but never seem to get into any real trouble. Lovable Rogue : Flash Harry. One-Gender School : St. Trinian's is an all girls school, and the majority of the staff are female. The Bursar and the art teacher are male in the 2007 reboot.

Sexy Schoolwoman : Some of the senior girls, particularly in the reboot film (emphasized by the fact the vast majority of the cast were in their 20s ). Stocking Filler : The senior girls have a penchant for stockings and garter belts. Uncanny Family Resemblance : in both the original film and the reboot. In The Belles of St. Trinian's, Millicent and Clarence Fritton were both played by Alastair Sim. In the reboot film, Camilla and Carnaby Fritton were both played by Rupert Everett. Unflinching Walk : The unexpected explosion of the shack that formally initiates the surprise visit to St Trinian, while it causes a gaggle of jhournalist to crouch and jump in fear, doesn't seem to faze Thwaites whatsoever. Villain Protagonist : The girls (it is St. Trinian's after all) are usually portrayed as organised criminals at best. On the other hand whoever their current enemy is is usually worse: bookmakers and the 6th form in the first film, kidnappers in the third, and a bunch of train robbers in the fourth.

On the other hand the 6th Form in the The Belles and the entire school in Blue Murder at St. Trinian's are explicitly only acting to further their own plans. Flash usually falls into this niche as well. Villain Song : If you do view the students as Villain Protagonists , the St. Trinian's Chant would be this. It fits pretty well in any case, with the girls revelling in the mayhem they cause. Zettai Ryouiki : Worn by several senior girls. The original series of St. Trinian's films (1954 - 1966) include the following tropes: Blackface : In the Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery Frankie Howerd 's character gets a face full of soot, which he then uses to impersonate a Pakistani worker (with a dreadful accent) to evade capture.

The Caper : The break-in at the Ministry in Blue Murder at St.Trinian's, where the girls break into the ministry, break through a ceiling, crack a safe and carry out their plan to substitute some test answers, to make sure they win a prize of a European tour so they can get to Italy and the VI form can meet their Italian suitors. They get away with it undetected even though they left a huge hole in the ceiling which, though papered over, is discovered in the morning. The train robbers in The Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery pull off the perfect heist, hide the millions and look set to get away with it, until it turns out they hid the loot in a house that's since been acquired as St. Trinian's new base of operations. They then plan another caper, hoping to get the money back. The St. Trinian's (2007) film includes the following tropes: Accidental Athlete : Annabelle Fritton is recruited for the hockey team after she smashes a bust with a mobile phone she belted with a hockey stick.

Adults Are Useless : Invoked and averted; While the girls do say that "No use relying on the grown-ups. We need to sort this out ourselves," Miss Fritton turns out to be helpful in the end. Beautiful All Along : Annabelle's rapid-fire montage of makeovers twists and subverts this trope before ending in a standard expression that puts her in Posh Totty territory. Black Comedy Rape : Implied when Geoffrey Thwaites has a drink with his old lover, Miss Fritton, and passes out due to a combination of the alcohol and unspecified prescription medication. He then wakes up naked in her bed the next morning to her euphemistic implications. Brief Accent Imitation : Flash Harry briefly disguises himself as a German art collector...with a hilariously awful accent. Celebrity Paradox : When looking at The Girl With A Pearl Earring, one girl comments that Colin Firth (who plays Geoffrey) was justified in wanting to shag her . Cloud Cuckoolander : The receptionist, Beverly. It's implied that this is partially because she's often very, very high. Continuity Reboot : The 2007 film borrows plot elements of The Belles of St.

Trinian's and isn't explicitly linked to the previous six films. Mad Bomber : The explosive-mad twins. Mythology Gag : Several taken from the older films; The bust that Annabelle shatters is of Alistair Sim, the actor who portrayed Miss Fritton in the earlier films. Similarly, the painting in Miss Fritton's office is also of Sim. The animated heist plan mimics the artistic style of Ronald Searle, whose cartoons inspired the films. The uniforms the Posh Totties wear to the School Challenge are based on the uniforms from the earlier films. On the way to the School Challenge final, the camera lingers on the visible tops of Annabelle's stockings. The fact that the girls wore this style in the 50s movies was seen as shocking and scandalous. A deleted scene has a ministry official suggest "Let Those Wildcats Beware" as a news headline for the Minister's plan to make St. Trinian's an example; this is a reference to Wildcats of St. Trinian's. Thwaite shoots it down as stupid, which may itself be a reference to how bad Wildcats was.

At least one of the pictures the camera pans over in the Art Room is based on one of the original Searle drawings (The original caption to which is "...And this is Rachel, our Head girl.") Naï¿½ve Newcomer : Annabelle when she first shows up at school and comes around to being a full fledged St. Trinian's girl by the time the first half of the movie is over. Miss Dickinson is the new English teacher and she's completely overwhelmed on her first day. She appears to have gotten a decent grasp of what's going on by the time the film ends. Never Found the Body : Miss Dickinson comments that they have lost "four English teachers in six months," prompting Ms Fritton to observe: "Very careless of us. I expect they'll turn up." Open the Door and See All the People : Reporters and paparazzi are at the school and Colin Firth's character just happens to stands nude at the window of the headmistress' room. Power Walk : The girls do this after having successfully pulled off their heist. Shout-Out : Pride and Prejudice gets a lot: Many of the cast have some connection to P&P: Colin Firth was Mr.

Darcy and Anna Chancellor (Miss Bagstock) was Miss Bingley in the 1995 miniseries; Talulah Riley (Annabelle) was Mary Bennet in the 2005 film version; and Gemma Arterton (Kelly) was Elizabeth Bennet in the 2008 miniseries Lost in Austen . Miss Fritton's dog is named for Mr. Darcy. This becomes distinctly "meta" in that the dog is kicked out the window while attempting to hump the Education Minister's leg - even Mr Darcy wants Colin Firth! Colin Firth's slow-motion walk to the hockey field in wet white shirt with his jacket over his arm mimics a similar scene he did in the 1995 Pride and Prejudice. The quizmaster's question "What book was originally titled First Impressions?" references the original title of Pride and Prejudice.

Similarly, there are a number of shoutouts surrounding "The Girl With A Pearl Earring", starting with Colin Firth 's role in the 2003 film of the same name , the explicit reference to Colin Firth wanting to shag her, and Chelsea initially thinking that the idea is to "steal Scarlett Johansson''. To The Italian Job (1969) , when the twins use a little too much explosive during the heist rehearsal. You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off! In her mannerisms and mode of dress, Camilla Fritton parodies Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall. When Thwaites and Camilla meet, she says "Another time!" and he answers "Another country!" His response is the title of a 1984 film in which Rupert Everett and Colin Firth first starred together. When Annabelle is entering the school for the first time, she calls it " Hogwarts for Pikeys ". A deleted scene has the girls running a Fight Club , which of course no one talks about.

They are abetted by the head-mistress' brother, played by Alastair Sim, who also plays the head-mistress.

★★★★★ A bastion of school holiday morning TV viewings (and sickies),theSt. Trinian's saga (a sequence of four movies: Belles, Blue Murder, Pure Hell, Train Robbery, plus a latter-day disaster Wildcats in 1980) holds a special place in the pantheon of British comedy. Be it the hockey -sticked anarchy, the suspender-belted allure of the "older" girls, the motherly exasperation of Alastair Sim in a wig or the genial bumbling of the outside authorities, they are whimsical and darkly funny movies encased in a warm, fuzzy England that probably never existed. Artist Ronald Searle first invented the horde of unruly schoolgirls in 1941 while serving in World War II, producing a series of ascerbic cartoons for satirical magazines Lilliput and Punch right through to 1953. This wasn't the innocent public school j apery of broken windows and dodging prep as depicted in Just William or the Jennings series.

This amoral, pre-pubescent rabble were the punkettes of their day; smoking, gambling, fighting and running riot over their slipshod educational establishment like prototype Mafiosa in ill-fitting gymslips. The duo of Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat (director and producer and co-writers), hot off the relatively tame school comedy The Happiest Days Of Your Life (1950), honed in on the delicious possibilities for mayhem and satire to first make Belles. In so-doing, they provided a template for the paradoxically quaint but subversive style of British comedy that worked its way into the Doctor and Carry On franchises. St. Trinian's School For Girls, a less than august public school in countrified England, seems to be made up of only two discernible years (although others are mentioned in passing they never appear). We get the sexually predatory, self-serving sixth form (assayed by girls 25 if a day) and the disreputable force of nature that is the fourth form (characterised by a signature banshee wailing every time they move en masse).

While the girls are portrayed more as a huddle than individuals  we only get to properly meet sixth form boss Bella (Vivienne Martin), fourth form leader Jackie (Diana Day) and resident school snitch Florrie (Jill Braidwood)  it is the teaching staff and extras who are the central comedy figures. Immediately, it's Alastair Sim's show. He is the wonderfully stoic epicentre of the movie as headmistress Miss Fritton  a sterling mix of benign, if misplaced pride ("We're one big happy family."), dubious fiscal habits and creative cunning. Although ostensibly a man-in-drag, the role is written straight; the humour isn't about the wig or false chest but the richly invented character and the slippery charm Sim applies to her. It is implicit that it's a bloke in a skirt but somehow irrelevant. Miss Fritton's preternatural ability to sidestep and overlook the various mantraps and madnesses that ricochet around her is one of the film's central comedic hooks. Sim also plays her twin brother, the crooked Clarence.

Hot on the trail of insider racing tips  new girl Princess Fatima's father has top horse Arab Boy running in the Cheltenham Gold Cup  he exhorts his sister to reinstate his oft-expelled daughter Bella. Unforgettable too is George Cole as cockney spiv Flash Harry, a silver-tongued, pencil-'tached rogue who seems to dwell in the bushes in the school grounds, abetting the girls in various nefarious pursuits (bootleg gin, racing bets). Characterised by the shiftiest walk in film history, Cole made an entire career out of this under-the-law persona (Flash grew up to be Arthur Daley). The teaching staff are a dissolute bunch of wrecks, alcoholics, ex-cons, ingenues and insinuated  but not openly declared (this was 1954)  lesbians, played by a cadre of (underused) great British funny-ladies. Into the mix that includes Irene Handl, Beryl Reid, and Joan Sims strides Joyce Grenfell as the bumbling undercover police officer Ruby Gates whose precision-timed horsy exuberance and pratfalling is about the only genuine innocence on show.

Events  and the plot is tidily lean  crescendo into ribald farce as the fourth formers kidnap Arab Boy to stop the sixth formers (in league with Clarence) knobbling him. Meanwhile Miss Fritton goes into business with Harry, betting the school funds on the outcome of the race, before war breaks out when the fourth form (plus Arab Boy) are besieged in their dorm by Clarence's bower boys and the errant sixth. The day is saved by the timely arrival of the Old Girls (a formidable mass viewed from their ankles down). Launder delivers the knockabout thrills with real vigour, cutting back to Miss Fritton's long-suffering eyes, Harry's padded-shoulder shrug and Ruby's lanky ineptitude. The school is, of course, saved from disaster and the natural disorder of things resumes. What endures and still beguiles about the St. Trinian's movies is a mythic Englishness of wood panelled public school nicety and eccentric "grown-ups" completely sabotaged by a pack of street-wise urchins and long-legged lovelies in a hail of flour bombs and lacrosse sticks.
