Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDonald Hewlett and Melvyn Hayes would both end up being cast as regulars on the BBC sitcom 'It Ain't Half Hot Mum (1974)' (1974-1981), fourteen years after this film was released.
- GoofsWhen the boys are rioting in the school yard, they are deemed to be using radio controlled model planes to attack the teachers. As the models fly low over the top of the teachers who are crawling low along the ground, (it would not be allowed these days) the models are clearly not radio controlled models, but rather the control line variety. Their circular flight path makes this very obvious.
- Quotes
Professor Jim Edwards: [Addressing three new boys] Now what should you know about this school? A phrase to remember is the Latin one, "Mens sana in corpore sano", "Healthy mind, healthy body". We give you the choice.
- ConnectionsSpin-off from Whack-O! (1956)
Featured review
bottom of the class
After the war comedy films set in schools were a mainstay of popular cinema going.It all really started with "The Happiest Days Of Your Life" which is undoubtedly top of the class.Then there followed the St Trinians films and then this film.It is a TV spin off from the BBC TV series "Whacko".The TV series was written by Frank Muir and Dennis Norden but they only contributed additional material to this and it shows.\unfortunately it isn't very funny.This despite the loudest attempts by Jimmy Edwards ably assisted by Arthur Howard and Richard Briers and Donald Hewlett.It is very loud but not very funny or original.It is far and away the least funny of the school films.
