Trivia / St. Trinian's

• All-Star Cast: The 2000s duology has an impressive one, from veterans (Rupert Everett, Lena Headey, Colin Firth, Stephen Fry, Russell Brand, Toby Jones, David Tennant) and even a few names who broke out like Gemma Arterton, Jodie Whittaker and Juno Temple.
• Completely Different Title:
  • The Belles of St. Trinian's:
    • Danish and Norwegian: Trouble in the Girl's Pension
    • Swedish: We're All Schoolgirls
  • Blue Murder at St. Trinian's:
    • Danish: Panic in the Girls' School
    • Dutch: The Blue Virgins of St. Trinians
    • Finish: Horror Spindle on the Killing Mood
    • French: Handspring Galore
    • Pan-American Spanish: Murder in Blue
    • Swedish: Schoolgirls Strike Again
  • The Pure Hell of St. Trinian's:
    • Danish: St. Trinian's Cute Girls
    • Greek: Cornflower
  • The Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery
    • Greek: London's Great Train Robbery
    • Italian: The Most Broken Robbery of the Century
  • The Wildcats of St. Trinian's
    • Japanese: 5th Work in 1980
  • St. Trinian's (2007)
    • Brazilian Portuguese: School for Beautiful and Wacky Girls
    • European Portuguese: Cute and Stunned
    • European Spanish: Very Hardcore Girls: The Boarding School Can Be a Party
    • Greek: Pupils in Action
    • Pan-American Spanish: Goodwill Girls
    • Russian and Ukrainian: Classmates
• Development Hell: A follow-up to St. Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold was announced in December 2009 and a contest held for a walk-on role. There has been no progress since then, and with most of the cast moving on to other roles it seems unlikely the movie will ever be made.
• No Export for You: The original movie, 1954's The Belles of St. Trinian's has not been yet released in Italy, Portugal, and Spain. Its UK-centric humour would prove to be a hard sell overseas.
• Playing Their Own Twin: One notable thing about the films is the fact that in both the original series and the 2007 reboot, the Headmistress, Miss Fritton, is played by a man (Alastair Sim and Rupert Everett, respectively) who also plays her brother.
• Saved from Development Hell: For some unknown reason, there was a 14-year gap between the fourth St. Trinian's movie (The Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery, 1966) and the fifth (The Wildcats of St. Trinian's, 1980). But there's no mystery why there was a 27-year gap between Wildcats and the sixth (St. Trinian's, 2007); Wildcats was reportedly so dire that it's the only one not available on DVD.
• Uncredited Role:
  • Dilys Laye as a sixth former in The Belles of St. Trinian's.
  • Rosalind Knight as Myrtle, the dressmaker in The Pure Hell of St. Trinian's.
  • Sally Geeson as a schoolgirl in The St. Trinian's Train Robbery.
