Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDonald Hewlett and Melvyn Hayes would both end up being cast as regulars on the BBC sitcom 'It Ain't Half Hot Mum (1974)' (1974-1981), fourteen years after this film was released.
- GoofsWhen the boys are rioting in the school yard, they are deemed to be using radio controlled model planes to attack the teachers. As the models fly low over the top of the teachers who are crawling low along the ground, (it would not be allowed these days) the models are clearly not radio controlled models, but rather the control line variety. Their circular flight path makes this very obvious.
- Quotes
Professor Jim Edwards: [Addressing three new boys] Now what should you know about this school? A phrase to remember is the Latin one, "Mens sana in corpore sano", "Healthy mind, healthy body". We give you the choice.
- ConnectionsSpin-off from Whack-O! (1956)
Featured review
Not a guilty pleasure, more an innocent one
When this film was shown recently on TV there was an apologetic announcement before the start, to say that it contained some racist elements which would be frowned on today. Fortunately I wasn't put off. In fact the fake Arabian prince, who is in reality a Cockney, is a thieving little bully, while the real prince is polite and charming; how this is racist, I fail to understand. That apart, all I can say is that I laughed out loud all through the film, which is witty, entertaining and fast-paced, as well as an excellent showcase for Jimmy Edwards's comic talents and those of the rest of the cast. Strongly recommended.
