The second in the "St. Trinian's" series, Blue Murder at St. Trinian's is a madcap little bit of nonsense that should delight those in the mood for silly, slightly anarchic fluff. It should be noted, however, that some modern viewers may chafe a bit at the manner in which these still-underage girls are presented as seductive young things; those who aren't bothered by this should have no problem with anything else in Murder. Don't go looking for a sensible plot. A plot does exist, and it technically makes sense, but really it's only hanging around so that the creators have an excuse to slip in one gag or slapstick sequence after another. As a raucous wild ride, Blue Murder doesn't spend too much time on character development -- but that's all to the good in this case. The students themselves are more of a "mass character" than individuals; we know which is which and what their defining quirks are, but they operate more as a conglomeration than an unique pieces. But there's room for some specificity with the adults, and this pays off big with the absolutely delightful Joyce Grenfell and the amusingly oily Terry-Thomas. Alistair Sim is wonderful in his few moments on screen, but Lionel Jeffries falls a bit short as the father/thief.
