First scene for Alastair Sim in both parts of his double role, Vivienne Martin as Bella, daughter of Clarence Fritton, arriving with him at the school which evidently has all the locals terrified, and is run by his shiftless sister Millicent, in The Belles Of St. Trinian’s, 1954, based on popular cartoons and books by Ronald Searle.
