  • I have one of his cartoon books. Sorry to hear that he died. I was in the Happiest Days of Your Life as a play in 1971 or 72 at Williamstown Little Theatre (Australia). While I was in quite a few plays and productions here and in other places this was my favourite. It was so much fun. Can't remember the school colours but puce was one and the other an aqua colour or similar - can you imagine?

  • Excellent comedy!

    Back in "the good old days", the vast majority of kids were simply mischievous. Now you can't even get a takeaway or buy a newspaper in some places without the risk of being caught in crossfire or randomly stabbed.

    In Dickens' time, an unfair society created an underclass. These days, we give them free houses, free healthcare, free money and free education - all unappreciated and seen as a right, for which nothing is owed in return.

    Poverty is not the cause, attitude is.

  • @andrewshere That's a bit harsh. I'm 15 years old and I absolutely adore classic comedy, both American and British. Alastair Sim is very funny.

  • The opening credits were drawn by the great cartoonist Ronald Searle who died in December, 2011 aged 91. This film, and his famous St Trinian cartoons, went on to inspire many St. Trinian films of similar flavour to this.

  • A brief scenario. Alastair Sim and Margaret Rutherford are principles of boys' and girls' schools respectively. It is set during World War II. It was the practice of the Government to evacuate kids from dangerous bombed areas to safer country ones. They evacuated the girls' school and dumped it on the boys' with predictable and hilarious results. Needless to say, Sim and Rutherford do not see eye to eye. More...

  • Oh my goodness, what ripping, jolly good, clean fun... My chuckle muscles shall certainly have a really good work-out today... *hee hee*
