Gregory Peck stars in this classic adaptation of Mark Twain's short
story of the same name. When American sailor Henry Adams (Peck)
comes across two wealthy brothers who have, with the help of the
Bank of England, developed a single note with a value of one
million pounds, he finds himself part of an unusual wager.
Brilliantly observed, funny, bittersweet, Joyce Grenfell's witty
sketches and songs never fail to entertain. This edition contains
all the material in the original volumes of George, Don't Do That
and Stately as a Galleon, including the bloodthirsty 'Ethel' and
the unforgettable nursery school monologues.
Classic British comedy from 1950 starring Alastair Sim and Margaret
Rutherford. Nutborne is an all-boys school and content to stay that
way, but after an evacuation of local private all-girls school, St.
Swithins, the two educational establishments must find a way to
co-exist as a battle of the sexes commences. A power struggle
between Nutborne's headmaster Wetherby Pond (Sim) and St Swithins'
headmistress Muriel Whitchurch (Rutherford) inevitably takes place,
leading to much silliness and mayhem.
First in the series of films based on the cartoon creations of
Ronald Searle. Miss Millicent Fritton (Alastair Sim), headmistress
of St Trinian's School for Girls, attempts to stave off her
creditors by 'looking after' the pocket money of a wealthy sheikh's
daughter currently enrolled at the school, and investing it on the
sheikh's horse, Arab Boy, in the local derby. Unfortunately, Miss
Fritton's bookmaking brother Clarence (also Sim) has backed another
horse, and kidnaps Arab Boy to ensure his own sizeable win. Miss
Fritton enlists the help of disreputable boot boy Flash Harry
(George Cole), the teaching staff and the Old Girls in rescuing
Arab Boy and returning him to the race.
