The Pure Hell of St. Trinian's
9 June 2020
A dismal film which now looks crude and racist.

The girls of St Trinian's think it is spiffing to burn their school down and even change the hose of the fire engine to a petrol, tanker.

Found guilty at court for arson. Sixth former Rosalie Dawn flirts with the judge who puts them all on probation with a mysterious Professor Cranford from the University of Baghdad.

However the Professor has plans to sail the kids away on a trip and sell them to white slavery in Arabia. This might explain why there are sexualised older pupils including one who gets a job as an exotic dancer in a harem.

No wonder Alistair Sim has left the series. It just does not stand up as the plot is incoherent. There is less focus on the schoolkids. Then again I might be biased, my high school was once set on fire!
