Charming
By a customer from Kent, England , 18 Aug 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
Belles of St. Trinian's is the first movie based on the St Trinian's drawings about a school for girls where all the pupils are little devils.
This movie has a timeless charm about it, with fantastic performances from Alastair Sim as both the Headmistress and her twin brother and from Joyce Grenfell, the famous raconteuse. George Cole has a very funny part as a spivalmost 30 years before he played Arthur Daily in Minder.
A classic movie, sadly under-watched and under-valued, you'll be doing yourself a favour by renting it.
Blue Murder at St. Trinian's is the second movie in the quadrilogy and although by no means a classic like the first movie, is still very funny. Returning with the same cast on another adventure. Joyce Grenfell steals the movie.- Was this review helpful to you?

(29)Good fun
By Mytrme (36 reviews) , 12 Apr 2011Wonderfully daft, gentle humour, untaxing and very relaxing.
Grenfell, Sims and Cole in one of their best films. You find yourself anticipating the 'moments' - eg Grenfell at the hockey match, Sims' whistling for Cole, Grenfell and Sims going into the Chem lab, the old girls lining up for battle. Good iconic British fun.- Was this review helpful to you?

Less Funny than I remembered
By a customer from Rhos-on-Sea , 14 Nov 2010This is very civilised, you while away an hour and twenty odd minutes easily. It has no sidesplitting moments, just pleasant chuckles. Sim, Cole and Grenfall, are the picture without whom it would be nothing short of tedious. It is gentle and steady paced, unfortunately that meant that my children were not always paying it complete attention. I suppose it shows that it was made in a very different age, it may have been risque at the time but now the view taken of the children's misbehaviour seems naive...- Was this review helpful to you?

Belles of St trinians
By stulaine (21 reviews) from Dartmouth , 30 Apr 2009We rented it as we know someone who was in the cast, but think it must be another of the series. Ran the titles three times as the music is so good.- Was this review helpful to you?
