I've never seen anything, but does anybody know if any of the St.Trinian films from the 1950's ever make it onto super 8 at all? If so, which ones? What length? Who released them?

The only one I know of was the later "Great St Trinian's Train Robbery" from PM films. This was colour not the B&W of the original films. I believe a 4x400ft and a cut down single 400ft were available. Fuji prints from Buck labs on the odd reel I have.

Thanks for that,Brian. It is nice to know at least one is available, but the other black and white ones would have made for such repeatable viewings on super 8 whether in the 4 or just 1x 400' versions. I'm surprised Derek at Derann never did anything about it. They would have been a certain winner!

I believe Derann did a reprint of the Powell release - The Happiest Days of your lives which featured many of the St. Trinians stalwarts
