The Happiest Days of Your Life on Talking Pictures TV Stars: Alastair Sim, Margaret Rutherford, Joyce Grenfell, Edward Rigby and Richard Wattis. Directed by: Frank Launder. Thanks to a slip-up at the Ministry of Education, during the Blitz, the girls of St. Swithin’s School are billeted with the boys of Nutbourne College, and their head teachers have to join forces to conceal this from parents and inspectors. A quintessentially British film, precursor to St Trinians, featuring performances from Sim and Rutherford, who each create a masterpiece of characterisation. They are both upstaged, however, by Joyce Grenfell, as the gawky, love-lorn Miss Gossage (“call me Sausage”), who effortlessly steals every scene she’s in. Vintage British comedy at its very best. Airs: Sun 17th November at 4pm.
