5.0 out of 5 stars brittish humor at its best, February 25, 2010

This review is from: The Belles Of St. Trinian's (DVD)

the "BELLES" is one of the funniest films i've had the fortune to view. I first saw it in 1956 when it was on the old Chanel 9 MILLION DOLLAR MOVIE, and it simply blew me out of the water. Alistair Sim in a dual role of Miss Fritton and her brother is perfection itself. it is the tale of a girls school that houses the worstgroup of students on the face of the earth, taught by a staff of teachers that specialize in nothing. the school teaches how to make gin in the science lab which is sold by the strange fellow who seems to live in the bushes behind the school and is named FLASH HARRY. he also places bets for the younger students on the local horse races. this film has to be seen to believed. you'll laugh from start to finish. this way to the brownie's camp fire, no trash.

a perfect companion feature was this film along with THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF YOUR LIFE, a wacky english film about the accidental pairing of a boys school and a girls school, by an inept Ministry of Education. the opposing heads of each school are Alistair Sim and Margret Rutherford and you can take it from there. i had the good fortune to see these two films on a double feature way back in 1959.

It's not exactly sophisticated but it's uproarious. Joyce Grenfell and Alistair Sim are two of the greatest comic geniuses of cinema age. Really unmissable if your sense of humour stopped evolving at about age 10!

I watched this for the first time, 30 years ago, and have watched it many times since and it stands the test of time and is still funny.
