A bevvy of comic actors appear in this English sex comedy. Three
inexperienced film makers set out to make a version of the dirty
poem, 'Eskimo Nell'. They obtain four different backers, and end up
making four different versions of the film to suit each of them.
Four films based on the cartoon creations of Ronald Searle. In 'The
Belles of St Trinians' (1954), 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.
In 'Blue Murder at St Trinians' (1956), the anarchic schoolgirls
win a UNESCO prize trip to Rome. Upon arrival they become involved
with a jewel thief (Lionel Jeffries) who hides out with the school,
disguised as the headmistress. The jolly hockey sticks are being
waved with malicious force once again in 'The Pure Hell of St
Trinians' (1957). After they burn their school down, the girls are
sent to the Middle East, where an Arab sheik tries to lure them
into his harem. Flash Harry (George Cole) attempts to come to the
rescue, only to find himself stranded on a desert island with a
familiar member of the constabulary (Joyce Grenfell). In the 1966
film 'The Great St Trinians Train Robbery', a bunch of crooks take
on more than they can handle when they decide to bury the loot from
a successful robbery in the grounds of St Trinians. The
high-spirited girls (or 'hooligans' as they are sometimes known)
take it upon themselves to confront the highly-strung criminals,
with devastating and comic effect.
