Summary
Hot on the heels of the Belles for St Trinian's, Rob and Guy are back and have skipped through the next two movies of the franchise (Blue Murder at St Trinian's and The Pure Hell of St Trinian's) to 12 years later and the midst of the Swinging Sixties for The Great St Trinian's Train Robbery. This just so happens to be a childhood favourite of Mr Film Stories Podcast Network A.J. Black, so Tony joined us once more to discuss a new breed of St Trinian's students, the new Headmistress, played by Dora Bryan, and the new villain played by Frankie Howerd. Of its time, it includes jokes about the Wilson Government, James Bond, The Beatles, and some rather unfortunate use of boot polish. Train Robbery is a new era for St Trinian's and a real departure from the 50s versions. But is that all for the bad, or will there be redeeming features? Tune in to find out. ...and if that hasn't sold you...it has Reg Varney in it!
