3.0 out of 5 stars More Girls on top, February 7, 2008

This review is from: The Pure Hell Of St. Trinian's (DVD)
This is better than 3 stars for me (though not quite 4), and generally maintains the standard set by the previous two films. At the start of the film the school has been burnt down and the pupils are brought to trial. A lovely sequence follows in which the Judge is continually distracted by one of the rather good-looking 6th formers! Because of this and thanks to a scam devised by Flash Harry (George Cole) the pupils are basically let off. Sadly the film doesn't quite maintain the standard of comedy set in this opening section.

The cast is mostly good with John LeMesurier turning up as the Minister of Education and Sid James as the backer of the new school (to be built). Irene Handl, Dennis Price and of course Joyce Grenfell also feature, along with a large cast of schoolgirls. The recurring joke through the film is the numerous people who put on some relaxing music and dance to it to relieve the stress of trying to deal with St Trinians problems. This is quite surreal and almost Pythonesq.

This is well worth buying (unlike the final film in the series), and can be purchased as part of a 4 disc set, which is also strongly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars St Trinians( All of the older ones...NOT the new one), December 1, 2008
This review is from: The Pure Hell Of St. Trinian's (DVD)
The original St Trinians films are exceptionally well written and cleverly acted out, mocking the accepted style for romantic drama of the day. The new St Trinians film should be given a very wide berth. It just doesn't have that flair of the originals. The music is too hip, and trying to have a trendy story line....completely misses the point and harmless fun of the earlier films, which were intended as spoofs. the music should be haphazard and broken down, much like that of a poorly executed school recital.The old honky tonk, poorly tuned piano and band( especially the drum) just can't be improved upon. I was very disappointed with the modern remake!Originals should never be tampered with!!!!!

Save your money; stupid movie; even the usually great Joyce Grenfell could'nt save this one. Boring.
