THE BELLES OF ST. TRINIANS, dir. Frank Launder
The schoolgirls at the extremely free-spirited St. Trinian's School are more interested in smoking and betting on the horses than their studies, in raucous comedy inspired by the cartoons of Ronald Searle, with Sim in a dual role as the Victorian-looking, but forward-thinking, headmistress and her racetrack tout brother. Producers Launder & Gilliat were the screenwriters of Hitchcock’s The Lady Vanishes. With George Cole (who had played Sim as a young man in A Christmas Carol), Joyce Grenfell, and Hermione Baddely.
