United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Black & White, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Flush on the heels of their success with the comedy I'm All Right Jack, the twin Boulting brothers (Roy, director and John producer) released this standard comedic fare with a dash of spice. Set in the traditional British boys' school, the farce deals with the reactions of the young lads and their profs when Mlle. Madeleine Lafarge (Agnes Laurent), a gorgeous new French language teacher, shows up to start work. Along with the incidents that evolve out of countless crushes on the charming, sexy woman is a school full of great characters -- from the cook to the posturing school master, and the young lover to the insufferable colonel who heads up the board of governors, all adding interest and zest to the goings-on. ...A French Mistress

5 stars purely for the sheer pleasure and fun of watching truly great British character actors at their best. I refer of course to the irreplacable Cecil Parker, James R.Justice, Raymond Huntley, Thorley Walters, Kenneth Friffith, Irene Handl and Athene Seyler. Add to that the so old fashioned, but beautifully innocent plot, the truly gorgeous "Mlle Agnes Laurent" (as she is billed), mint print and sound, and a length of 94', a bottle of wine (and a huge enjoyment of nostalia) and you have the recipe for enjoying a forgotten wonderul piece of British and Boulting Bros filmmaking. (The wine doesn't come with the film sadly but it's still tremendous value for money).

A young, pretty Frenchwoman comes to teach French at a boys' boarding school where everyone is expecting her to be an old, ugly Frenchwoman. At the sight of her the boys' attitude changes instantly from revulsion to enthusiasm. Throw in minor romance and a couple of minor hiccups and the whole thing is done. The film was made in the late 50's early 60's. The film, the plot, the direction, the acting and the pace can best be described in one word - lazy.
