Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

This was the fourth St Trinian's film, riding the wave of 1960s British sex comedy that somehow stayed family-friendly through sheer camp.

Trivia

The real Great Train Robbery happened in 1963; this film cashed in so fast the wounds were still fresh. Frankie Howerd's twin performance required such precise timing that one flub meant starting entire scenes over.
