The tearaway students of St Trinian’s School scam their way onto a UNESCO-sponsored bus tour of Italy in this comedy sequel from 1957.

violence
Infrequent comic violence includes gunfire and slapstick scuffles, all without visible injury.
sex
Occasional mild sex references and innuendo include scenes in which schoolgirl characters flirt with men, as well as ones in which men gawk at attractive female characters. There are comic references to teenage girls being willingly ‘sold’ in marriage to members of royalty; a related scene shows a prince perusing an album of photos of 16- and 17-year-old characters posing in bikinis. ‘Pin-up’ images of scantily-clad women are sometimes visible on the walls in the background of scenes, but the detail is not clear.
additional issues
A person jokingly suggests suicide as a means of coping with a stressful situation. Underage characters smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol, and a man takes an unidentified pill.
