    Very acceptable but totally forgettable star comedy.

    Great fun

    I watched this film with my family when I was young, over and over again....me and my sisters still remember the songs!

    John Mills plays the strict but loveable teacher excellently. Some of the younger actors made their debut in this film, you might recognise them.

    Great family fun feel good movie for a Sunday afternoon.
