This is quite a fun little gem stolen, as usual, by Alastair Sim as the headmaster "Dr. Skillingworth". This time, though, he is not in his "St. Trinians" guise - here he has to manage three typically mischievous brothers who have a grand design. That plan is not so much anti-education, but aimed at their ever rowing parents: pacifist John Mills and the kindly, but at the end of her tether Yvonne Mitchell whose marriage appears to be teetering on the edge of divorce. It's quite a clever premiss - do parents who send their kids away to school gain or lose from their respective experiences? Mills isn't up to much, sadly - he over-acts the role, but the boys do well as does their pal "L.W. Hartley" (Jeremy Spenser) and Colin Gordon's meddling journalist "Deeson". I hadn't heard of this until yesterday, but I'm glad I watched it.
