Goofs
Butters and Culpepper-Brown are given secret information that was written on rice paper, so that they could eat it to dispose of the information. Butters is incredibly reluctant to eat his paper as he claims to be allergic to rice. Culpepper-Brown could have easily eaten both pieces to avoid this issue entirely.

The final outing for the girls from the original 3 films.....

This is the final of the three original St. Trinian's films. Alastair Sim doesn't appear in this one, which leaves quite a space but is filled well by new characters and extensions of existing ones. The plot is a lot different from the 2 before, in that it's more surreal. In the other 2, the fact that Flash Harry, a police woman and a professor would become stranded on a desert island wouldn't have happened. Neither would the storming of an Arab sheiks palace. The charceters of Sergeant Ruby Gates (Joyce Grenfell) and Flash Harry (George Cole) are explored much more, with us learning things like Harry's middle name and where Ruby's mother lives. Fantastic performances form the whole cast but I think Cole and Grenfell steal the show. Comedy at its best. Watch out for the scene in the strippers club. Watch Harry's face. Probably the best comedy without words ever.
