United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Mono ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Black & White, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: When the school burns to the ground there's clearly been some arson around. The pupils are found guilty and the judge hands them into the care of a pretty dubious child psychiatrist. The sixth form are soon kidnapped and on their way to Arabia with the Ministry of Education, Barchester police, and an Army Bath Unit after them. But real rescue is at hand in the shape of Britain's finest fighting force - St. Trinian's fourth form. ...The Pure Hell of St. Trinian's

Format:DVD
This is better than 3 stars for me (though not quite 4), and generally maintains the standard set by the previous two films. At the start of the film the school has been burnt down and the pupils are brought to trial. A lovely sequence follows in which the Judge is continually distracted by one of the rather good-looking 6th formers! Because of this and thanks to a scam devised by Flash Harry (George Cole) the pupils are basically let off. Sadly the film doesn't quite maintain the standard of comedy set in this opening section.

The cast is mostly good with John LeMesurier turning up as the Minister of Education and Sid James as the backer of the new school (to be built). Irene Handl, Dennis Price and of course Joyce Grenfell also feature, along with a large cast of schoolgirls. The recurring joke through the film is the numerous people who put on some relaxing music and dance to it to relieve the stress of trying to deal with St Trinians problems. This is quite surreal and almost Pythonesq.

This is well worth buying (unlike the final film in the series), and can be purchased as part of a 4 disc set, which is also strongly recommended.

Honestly! We were not that bad! 12 Aug 2005
By Brenda Necaise - Published on Amazon.com
As an "Old Girl" from a not-quite-so-similar school, back in the good old days of Gym Slips, White Blouses and Black wool stockings, I must admit that we were always up to something... we were not quite that outrageous...but, in a way I am sure that our Head thought we were. Though the entire cast of this film is extraordinarily exagerated...they all bring a faint sprinkle of reality and a giggle of happy memories..Long Live St. Trinians!!
