St Trinians Double Feature – The Belles Of and Blue Murder At St Trinians 1954

The Belles Of St Trinians is the first in the series of films based on the cartoon creations of Ronald Searle. The arrival of Sultan’s daughter Princess Fatima at England’s famous and prestigious ‘School for Young Ladies’ precipitates even more chaos than usual. Her father’s horse Arab Boy is due to run at the nearby Gold Cup so Clarence Fitton, bookie brother of headmistress Millicent, ensures his own daughter is on hand to report progress. At the same time Barchester police have planted sergeant Ruby Gates as a teacher, and the Ministry of Education are sending a third inspector down after the previous two disappeared without trace.
