School Uniforms

[Deano !]

I remember seeing some main-stream British movies made in the seventies where they quite happily showed girls wearing short school uniforms and acting like tarts. This was the sort of thing you'd see on late night TV sex comedies. I know that in the eighties all that stuff was banned. I think chalk was banned at one stage as it was too suggestive ( joking, but only just ! ). I'm wondering how the censorship gudelines work with old movies like this now. I remember seeing the last Saint Trinians movie made ( Janet Street-Porter was in it ) and was amazed at how suggestive it was. Of course, I switched it off !

How can they be banned when they are shown on BBC and ITV?

Isn't there talk of re-making the St Trinians movies in any case?

They plan to remake all 4 St Trinians films I think with Richard E Grant in the Alistair Sim role.

I'd read it was Rupert Everett, with Kylie (!) as one of the schoolgirls---but no one could handle a candle to the immortal Sim. The man was a genius.

Anyone got any alternate casting suggestions? As the school-mistress, a bloke pretending to be a woman interested in the "welfare" of schoolgirls. Who could that possibly be?

Hi


Would that be porn or non-porn actresses for the sixth form?

If the 1980 remake was anything to go by, they're heading for a cinematic and financial fiasco.
Have they learned nothing from the 'Avengers' debacle? A spoof might (just) work, whereas a flawed rehash is doomed to failure: these things are so rooted in their time that they are not meaningfully transplantable,

It'll be a straight comedy. Let's face it they aren't going to show the g/g action that goes on in these all-girl schools. "Class Action - the Movie" (lol).

[jj]

Yes: straight comedy (i.e. crushingly unfunny), with as much s/c sex as they can get away with.
Yawn..............

I do have a complete script for 'The girls of Saint Knickers down' If any one feels like a financial gamble on a feature length movie. It encorporates all the things from the St. Trins film

God, I prey they don't - they would only end up being awful politically correct affairs. I mean just compare the recent Star Trek episodes with the classic ones made in the sixties. The old ones were full of fun stuff like hordes of badass aliens having their tentacles blasted off by Dr Spock and the gang, gorgeous Starfleet babes with big tits and skirts up to their arses. Beautiful swooning damsels in distress waiting to be swept off their feet by a rampant Captain Kirk. Nowadays, the Starfleet babes are trouser wearing alternative (but equally valid) type crewmembers. And if a Klingon were to give one of the crew so much as a dirty look he would shoot off to sickbay for 'counselling' faster than he could say "I'm a namby-pamby ponce!" Of course, if any Klingon creep had gotten lairy with the Captain in the 60's he would?ve had seven bells knocked out of him and quite rightly so.

So, in the current cultural climate I fear that any re-make of St. Trinnians would be a terribly disappointing waste of time.
