Civil war breaks out at St. Trinian’s School for Young Ladies when the forth form, Flash Harry, and the Headmistress back a different horse in the forthcoming Gold Cup to the sixth form and the Head’s brother, in Launder and Gilliat’s entertaining, if somewhat slapdash, comedy. Sim (in a twin role) and Cole are predictably excellent, but the considerable talents of Grenfell, Handl, Wattis, et al. are, for the most part, sadly wasted.
