    One bad movie, one great movie

    Pure Hell of St. Trinian's: This is where this series of movies starts to go down-hill. Missing Alastair Sim who plays the brilliantly wry headmistress and her brother and with a poor script focusing on the board of directors rather than the actual school, the movie sinks with only a few highlights.

    Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery:

    With basically all of the original cast missing that appeared in the first movie 8 years prior, you'd think this is a cash-in on the name of St Trinian's but it is in fact a great movie, much better than Pure Hell of St. Trinians. There's no Alastair Sim or Joyce Grenfell but Frankie Howerd makes a great performance as does the whole cast and St Trinian's comes to an end on fine form.

    Rent Belles of St. Trinian's and Blue Murder of St. Trinians first then rent these.

    Splendid

    I couldn't remember ever seeing 'Pure Hell' & I hadn't remembered that the 'Train Robbery' is rather tedious in parts...but the chase at the end is as good as I remembered it and makes it an enjoyable family film (ours are 15,10 & 8 & all liked it...)
