You both really are taking the piss now and trolling. That photo with the group of St Trinians girls was in the film and I will even post a clip as proof. As for the age of the sixth form girls on the original films, quite a few were born in the 1920s and early 1930s which would of made them in their early 20s at least. Dilys Laye was born 1934 which would of made her 23 on Blue Murder of St Trinians in 1957 Rosalind Knight was born 1933 which would of made her 24. Another sixth form actress from the same St Trinains film was Patricia Lawrence who was born in 1925 which would of made her 32 years of age. So get your facts right and if you don't believe me then look up Blue Murder at St Trinians on IMDB and stop acting like idiots. BTW when I used the word "posing" I meant they were posing in the film.

TheWildcats of St. Trinian's focuses more than usual on the school's younger girls, and they are also played by actresses who look about the right age, of fifteen or so. The film is, in many ways, the most childish and childlike of the series, with basic plotting, simple characterisations and cheerful schoolgirl high jinx. But the sexiness is also pushed further than inprevious entries in the series, and these two elements inevitably clash alarmingly, making this a weird, curdled mixture of childrens' film and sex comedy. I, myself was going to be involved in the filming, script and music while Fiona was going to be involved with casting the girls, doing the makeup and providing the outfits. In the first two films, St Trinian's is presided over by the genial Miss Millicent Fritton (Sim in drag), whose philosophy is summed up as: "In other schools girls are sent out quite unprepared into a merciless world, but when our girls leave here, it is the merciless world which has to be prepared." Later other headmistresses included Dora Bryan in The Great St Trinian's Train Robbery. The film was not a critical or commercial success. [3] It has yet to be released on DVD except in the US. [ citation needed] Plot [ edit ] Please everyone leave Bunster alone.He's obviously very nice man with big town concerns for all and likes to protect innocents with big fluffy embracemake various attempts to break the strike at St. Trinian's and recover the princess, including hiring a private detective (Maureen Lipman) to go undercover at the school as a new chemistry teacher. The Terror of St Trinians or Angela's Prince Charming (1952; text by Timothy Shy, pen-name for D. B. Wyndham Lewis) The gauge 0 model train manufacturer ACE Trains produce an "unorthodox" model of a British Schools Class steam locomotive (which were named after British schools), numbered 1922 and named "St Trinneans" (sic). This model is bright pink and has a pair of uniformed schoolgirls as driver and fireman. [14]

A poem in one of Searle's books called "St Trinian's Soccer Song", by D. B. Wyndham Lewis and Johnny Dankworth, states that the motto is Floreat St Trinian's ("May St Trinian's Bloom/Flourish"), [12] a reference to the motto of Eton ( Floreat Etona—"May Eton Flourish"). A couple of actors return to the fold, perhaps out of loyalty to Frank Launder. Thorley Walters appears in his third St. Trinian's film, playing his third different character in the series.Walters played an army officer in the second film and a civil servant in the third. He gets promoted to a more senior role this time, although this is in the Department of Women's Education rather than the Ministry of Education of the earlier films. He is also given a different character name, Culpepper Brown, a character played by Eric Barker in the previous three films. In the films the school became embroiled in various shady enterprises, thanks mainly to Flash, and, as a result, was always threatened with closure by the Ministry. (In the last of the original four, this became the "Ministry of Schools", possibly because of fears of a libel action from a real Minister of Education.) The first four films form a chronological quartet, and were produced by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat. They had earlier produced The Happiest Days of Your Life (1950), a stylistically similar school comedy, starring Alastair Sim, Joyce Grenfell, George Cole, Richard Wattis, Guy Middleton, and Bernadette O'Farrell, all of whom later appeared in the St Trinian's series, often playing similar characters. The St Trinian's girls themselves come in two categories: the Fourth Form, most closely resembling Searle's original drawings of ink-stained, ungovernable pranksters, and the much older Sixth Form, sexually precocious to a degree that may have seemed alarming to some in 1954. [ citation needed] Pupils of the infamous St Trinian’s establish the first branch of the ‘Union of British Schoolgirls’, then kidnap the daughter of a wealthy Arab prince (played by future Eurovision non-winner Frances Ruffelle) in an attempt at gaining recognition.This time the St. Trinian's girls decide to form a union, so that they can go on strike. To increase their bargaining power, their partner in crime, former school boot boy Harry (Joe Melia), encourages them to infiltrate the top schools in the country, so that they can form a "closed shop" and bring all of the other schools out on strike as well. years after the last film in the series, The Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery in 1966,Frank Launder returned to write and direct one more film featuring the troublesome girls of St. Trinian's School, The Wildcats of St. Trinian's in 1980. My St Trinians film was going to be a project for a video production course I did at college in 2001 and I mentioned it on this forum at the time.

The girls of St. Trinian's hatch yet another fiendish plot—a trade union for British schoolgirls. Their friend and mentor, Flash Harry, suggests a plan which involves kidnapping girls from other rather more respectable colleges and substituting their own "agents". Thus begins a hilarious, often bloody, battle of wits as the girls meet resistance not only from Olga Vandermeer, their Headmistress, but from the Minister of Education, a private detective, and an oil sheikh. Despite all his desperate efforts to foil the conspiracy, the Minister has to face a growing realisation that the girls' demands will have to be met—for him this will mean a very great and very personal sacrifice. Hop well bunny buddy and spread you words like talcum scattered from a very high balcony falling and spreading wisdom on fools below. For the 2007 film, see St Trinian's (film). For the actual progressive school, see St Trinnean's School. Cover of a modern re-issue of St Trinian's drawings Rosalind Knight also makes her third appearance in aSt. Trinian's film and also plays, as far as can be ascertained, her third different character. Knight was one of the distinctly over-aged schoolgirls in Blue Murder at St. Trinian'sand had a small part as a seamstress in The Pure Hell of St. Trinian's. Twenty years later, in The Wildcats of St. Trinian's, she plays one of the school's frazzled teachers. Goodwin, Stephen (October 22, 1998). "Revealed: belles of the real St Trinians". The Independent. Archived from the original on 2022-05-24 . Retrieved April 23, 2017.In truth, there was only one genuinely funny entry – The Belles of St Trinian’s(1954) – in the five-film series, with each subsequent instalment failing more dismally than the last to match the comic anarchy of the original movie.
