Blue Murder at St. Trinian's
Why this pick
Another gleefully anarchic St Trinian’s caper, with the same wicked schoolgirl energy, ensemble comedy, and briskly absurd criminal mischief.

02
The Pure Hell of St. Trinian's
Why this pick
Continues the school’s irreverent spirit through farcical schemes, unruly pupils, and a fondly satirical portrait of authority continually outwitted.
03
The Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery
Why this pick
A later St Trinian’s romp that preserves the series’ naughty charm: schoolgirls, criminal escapades, and cheerfully preposterous British farce.
04
The Green Man
Why this pick
Its polished mid-century British farce, eccentric characters, and escalating comic conspiracy suit the buoyant, mischievous tone of St Trinian’s.
05
Too Many Crooks
Why this pick
This breezy crime farce shares St Trinian’s delight in amateurish lawbreaking, prim authority figures, and an increasingly unruly comic ensemble.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
The Sultan of Makyad wants to send his daughter Fatima to a school in England, and asks her governess Miss Anderson to recommend one: she recommends St Trinian's in the county of Barchester. This suits the sultan perfectly: as his racehorses are trained there, he will be able to visit Fatima and his horses at the same time.
