The Pure Hell of St Trinian’s *** (1960, Cecil Parker, George Cole, Joyce Grenfell, Thorley Walters, Dennis Price, Sidney James) – Classic Movie Review 2797
Co-writer/co-producer/director Frank Launder’s less entertaining 1961 number three in the comedy film franchise brings back the hellish schoolgirls from Ronald Searle’s St Trinian’s cartoons, who now torch their school and are recruited for an Arab’s harem. It […]
The Pickwick Papers **** (1952, James Hayter, James Donald, Nigel Patrick, Donald Wolfit, Hermione Gingold, Kathleen Harrison, Alexander Gauge, Joyce Grenfell, Harry Fowler) – Classic Movie Review 2796
Writer-director Noel Langley conscientiously works Charles Dickens’s novel over as a jolly 1952 British comedy film. It offers a big fat star part as Mr Pickwick that might have been tailor-made in the first place […]
The Happiest Days of Your Life ***** (1950, Alastair Sim, Margaret Rutherford, Joyce Grenfell, Richard Wattis, Edward Rigby, Guy Middleton, George Cole) – Classic Movie Review 2793
Co-writer/co-producer/director Frank Launder’s 1950 British school-days farcical comedy is super vintage fun. John Dighton and Launder’s screenplay, adapted from John Dighton’s stage play, is all about the antagonism and chaos caused when a British government department […]
Blue Murder at St Trinian’s **** (1957, George Cole, Terry-Thomas, Joyce Grenfell, Alastair Sim, Lionel Jeffries, Sabrina, Richard Wattis) – Classic Movie Review 2789
Alastair Sim returns as St Trinian’s headmistress Miss Millicent Frinton, though alas appears in only two scenes, put out of action tied up in the school belfry, so the English gym-slipped schoolgirls can head off for […]
The Belles of St Trinian’s ***** (1954, Alastair Sim, Joyce Grenfell, George Cole, Beryl Reid, Joan Sims, Irene Handl) – 2015 Classic Movie Review 2786
Director Frank Launder and producer Sidney Gilliat’s 1954 British comedy classic about the misadventures of cartoonist creator Ronald Searle’s grotty schoolgirls at England’s famously appalling St Trinian’s School for Young Ladies is the original and […]
Laughter in Paradise **** (1951, Alastair Sim, Fay Compton, George Cole, Joyce Grenfell, Guy Middleton) – Classic Movie Review 2625
Producer-director Mario Zampi’s delightful 1951 British comedy is a minor classic, enshrining one of Alastair Sim’s most treasurable performances as a henpecked thriller writer and providing eagerly grabbed showcases for showy turns by some of […]
Stage Fright **** (1950, Marlene Dietrich, Jane Wyman, Richard Todd, Michael Wilding, Alastair Sim, Sybil Thorndike, Kay Walsh, Patricia Hitchcock) – Classic Movie Review 326
Alfred Hitchcock recalls his 1950 British thriller film Stage Fright: ‘Several of the reviewers mentioned Selwyn Jepson’s novel Man Running might make a good Hitchcock picture and I, like an idiot, believed them.’ ‘Love held […]
