The Pure Hell of St Trinian's
1960, English. Directed by Frank Launder.
Those girls of St. Trinian's are fighting back with barely concealed weapons... but justice isn't blind...
The fourth form monsters' latest trick is their best yet – they have burned down the school! As the girls stand trial, police breathe a sigh of relief, but miraculously the judge's infatuation with a student means the school is freed. For the authorities, it means a new reign of terror as the girls of St Trinian’s regroup with gleeful anticipation.
