      The shadow on the wall of Arab Boy seen by Ruby Gates is obviously made by a cut-out.
    • Quotes

      Arabella: Monica Drew wasn't expelled when she burnt down the gymnasium.

    George Cole is brilliant.......
    The first and probably the best of the three original St. Trinian's films. What with Alastair Sim and Joyce Grenfell, this film will definitely make you laugh. However, I personally think what makes the film what it is is Flash Harry, the local cockney spiv played expertly well by George Cole. The interaction between Cole, Sim and Grenfell is magic. Flash Harry is a fantastic character and can't but make you laugh. A classic, classic film.
