  Amazon.com: Belles of St Trinian's: Video: Alastair Sim,Joyce Grenfell,George Cole,Hermione Baddeley,Betty Ann ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
St Trinian's has a terrible reputation--both with the local constabulary and also with the Ministry of Education, but when a wealthy Arab sheik decides to send his daughter, Fatima, to St Trinian's, he is blissfully unaware of the school's awful reputation but is rather impressed by the school's proximity to the racetrack.
Trinian's is beleaguered by financial problems, and the headmistress, Miss Fritton, has been forced to pawn the school trophies, so it is with delight that the teachers and headmistress receive the wealthy Princess Fatima and her allowance of one hundred pounds.
In The Belles of St. Trinian's, a sly, chaotic comedy from the team of Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat, St. Trinian's is, as usual, on the brink of financial disaster.

Trinian’s is an English girl’s public school with a “revered” heritage as being the single greatest den of iniquity ever produced by the Empire.
Girls of St. Trinians have gone on to be harem wives, safecrackers, strippers, enforcers for the mob and even a Prime Minister of England.
Trinian’s girls are the daughters of organised crime figures, turf accountants, heavies and super villains.

According to Everett, the updated St Trinian's films are likely to be more controversial than the riotous originals, which were once described by a film critic as "nostalgic hymns to a golden age of juvenile delinquency".
St Trinnean's had already achieved notoriety thanks to its headmistress, Catherine Fraser Lee, a progressive figure who once insisted that pupils eat their meals backwards for an entire term, starting with pudding and ending with soup.
The four original St Trinian's films followed a well-worked pattern: thanks (mostly) to the efforts of "Flash " Harry, the school would become embroiled in a shady enterprise; it would be threatened with closure by the Ministry of Education; and then the girls would attempt to outwit the ministry, often with hilarious consequences.

The fourth and fifth films in the cycle, The Great St Trinian's Train Robbery and The Wildcats of St Trinian's are generally regarded as celluloid rubbish.
The Belles of St Trinian's is a wonderful old fl-and-white British comedy, acted splendidly by a vintage cast of great strength.
Dominating the casting is sinisterly avuncular Alastair Sim, who plays the double role of St Trinian's Headmistress, Miss Fritton, and her seedy bookmaker-brother Clarence.

 Everett, Watson and Firth Head to St. Trinian's - Cinematical
Based on cartoons from British cartoonist Ronald Searle, there were a series of films in the 50's and 60's, followed by one terribly-received stab in 1980.
Trinian's is a fictional girl's school full of wicked girls and questionable teachers.
Though personally I love Searle's iconic, cigar-smoking naughty girls in their gym-slips, the artist was known not to care for the cinematic interpretations of his St. Trinians creation.

 Movie Info for The Wildcats of St. Trinian's on MSN Movies
Back in the early 1950s, cartoonist/satirist Ronald Searle dreamed up the "Belles of St. Trinians," a gaggle of sweet-faced, diabolically inclined British schoolgirls.
The last of the series, Wildcats of St. Trinian's, hasn't weathered the years quite as well as its predecessors.
Wildcats of St. Trinian's was written and directed by Frank Launder, who with his partner Sidney Gilliat had cooked up most of the previous "St. Trinian's" farces.
