Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Third in the Ronald Searle series. After they have burned down the school, the girls are shipped off to the Middle East, where - with the inevitable harem and secret agents lurking - inspiration seems to have deserted the St Trinian's scriptwriters. Some bright moments, but on the whole very disappointing. Irene Handl replaced Alastair Sim as the headmistress, otherwise the crew remained the same. DMcG.
