This is a fairly old film and the version here is a little grainy in parts. But that said it should not detract from the general overview of this great British comedy. it is hilariously funny - the story-line is as impossible to believe as it gets but with a near-farce like this it does not matter. The acting by Joyce Grenfell, George Cole and Alistair Sim is really quite marvelous in its own unique way. If you want a hilarious 90 minutes and do not mind the odd grainy picture then it is a must for your collection. A real romp of a film that despite its age does not date.
This movie represents a tacit challenge to the contemporary notions of what it meant to be a proper English female from a family of at least bourgeois rank in post-War England. It starts by showing some women who are particularly dominated by the patriarchal order -- women living as the harem for an imaginary sheik, who then decides to send his daughter to this academy of unlearning good lady-like manners. Especially with the head-mistress artfully played in drag, it is a marvelous dismantling of gender norms.
Alastair Sim in dual roles as twin siblings (and one of them a woman!) with many other excellent British actors of the time. The restored version of the film on this DVD bring back the quality of the original cinematography often lost in older issues.
Here's the kind of movie I've been missing: just pure silly fun and excellent acting. Alastair Sim is brilliant in his dual role and the supporting cast help the whole movie to shine. Yes, we know that a mob of children can be wild, but these girls are so clever and inventive that I delighted in their antics. Still, despite their behavior, there was nothing mean-spirited about the movie. Lots of laughs and a happy ending--what more could you want?
the movie is old to begin with and in black and white but the copy is poor..it jumps around on the screen and has wavy things happening...its a vhs..tried to the tracking on the vcr...still nothing..so.not sure if the orders are copys among copies...the more copies you make over and over again..not using the orginal...can be poor quality...to make copys one should use the orginal to make the copys not the copy... anyhow..trying to enjoy the movie with wavy picture...not going to pay more money for a dvd...
Alistair Sims in drag as the headmistress of an all girls school...what could go wrong.

Nostalgia for the age when 'feminism' became known to me in the 1950s. That girls could be at least as disruptive as boys. Not just as Sufraggetes, but in other ways too. Ronald Searle's book had gripped me and drove me to the flicks to see the film.

Amazing its so old yet feels so fresh. Cudos to Alistair Sim and all who made it possible.
