The first of five St Trinians films although the last is usually discounted was based around artist Ronald Searles schoolgirl characters, and features the wonderful Alastair Sim in drag as Millicent Fritton, headmistress, as well as her own brother. Much of the humour is dated, yet curiously touching and outrageous in todays PC world - the girls drink, gamble, smoke and are later sold off to rich Arabs, yet always remain in charge, defeating bureaucrats, police, judges and other establishment figures as they maraud across England. Perhaps because the films have been so regularly seen on TV, St Trinians still inspires fancy dress parties and club nights. The films have recurring characters that include PC Ruby Gates Joyce Grenfell and Flash Harry George Cole. The precursor to the entire series is a charming film called The Happiest Days Of Your Life 1950.
O primeiro de cinco filmes de St Trinians, embora o último seja geralmente descontado, foi baseado em personagens de colegial do artista Ronald Searles, e conta com o maravilhoso Alastair Sim como Dra. Millicent Fritton, diretora, assim como seu próprio irmão. Grande parte do humor é datada, mas curiosamente tocante e ultrajante no mundo dos PCs de hoje - as meninas bebem, jogam, fumam e depois são vendidas para árabes ricos, mas sempre permanecem no comando, derrotando burocratas, policiais, juízes e outras figuras do establishment. eles saqueiam pela Inglaterra. Talvez porque os filmes tenham sido vistos regularmente na TV, o St Trinians ainda inspira festas de fantasias e boates. Os filmes têm personagens recorrentes, como PC Ruby Gates Joyce Grenfell e Flash Harry George Cole. O precursor de toda a série é um filme encantador chamado The Happiest Days Of Your Life, de 1950.
