The Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery is a British comedy film set in the fictional St Trinian's School, released in 1966, three years after the historical Great Train Robbery had taken place. It also parodies the technocratic ideas of the Harold Wilson government and its support of the comprehensive school system. Directed by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat to a script by Sidney and Leslie Gilliat, it was the last of a series of four St. Trinian's films.

  • The Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery is a British comedy film set in the fictional St Trinian's School, released in 1966, three years after the historical Great Train Robbery had taken place. It also parodies the technocratic ideas of the Harold Wilson government and its support of the comprehensive school system. Directed by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat to a script by Sidney and Leslie Gilliat, it was the last of a series of four St. Trinian's films. However it retained only George Cole as "Flash Harry" and Richard Wattis as Manton Bassett (a civil servant) from the earlier films. It brought in several new actors, including Frankie Howerd as Alfred (Alphonse) Askett, Reg Varney as Gilbert, and Dora Bryan as Miss Spottiswood, the school headmistress. Although asked twice, Joyce Grenfell refused to appear again as Sergeant Ruby Gates. She later said that she had regretted appearing in the St Trinian's films. Raymond Huntley appeared as the Minister of Education, and the civil servants of the Ministry of Education were played by Eric Barker as Culpepper-Brown, and Richard Wattis. Cyril Chamberlain appeared as Maxie.
