Great St Trinians Train Robbery (1966)

"...[includes] a great train chase which is quite the funniest part of the film, having a great deal in common with the old silent slapstick technique.  Variety

Editor's Note The fun begins when the criminals who committed the great train robbery hide the money at a remote girl's school. The girls prove to be too much for the crooks.

Ronald Searle's little schoolgirl demons from St. Trinian's are berserk again on the screen in a yarn with a topical twist, the [1963] Great Train Robbery...Having pulled off a $7 million train robbery, a hapless gang of crooks stash the loot in a deserted country mansion...When the gang returns on parents' day for a second attempt at picking up the loot they run into further trouble and complications and eventually get involved in a great train chase which is quite the funniest part of the film, having a great deal in common with the old silent slapstick technique...Among the many performances which contribute to the gaiety are those of Frankie Howerd as a crook posing as a French male hairdresser, Raymond Huntley as a Cabinet Minister with amorous eyes on the St. Trinian's headmistress (Dora Bryan), Richard Wattis in one of his typical harassed civil servant roles and Peter Gilmore as his confrere. George Cole crops up again as Flash Harry, the school bookie.
