Directed by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat with a script by Sidney and Leslie Gilliat, it was the last in the original series of four films and the only one to be made in colour.[2] It retained George Cole, Richard Wattis, Eric Barker, Michael Ripper, and Raymond Huntley from the earlier films. Several new actors were brought in, including Frankie Howerd as Alfred (Alphonse) Askett, Reg Varney as Gilbert, Dora Bryan as headmistress Amber Spottiswood, and Stratford Johns as the Voice.[3] Although she was asked twice, Joyce Grenfell refused to appear again as Sergeant Ruby Gates. Raymond Huntley appeared as the "Minister of Schools" (a fictional title), having appeared in a different role in the earlier films; and Cyril Chamberlain appeared as Maxie. The extensive use of trick gadgets in Alphonse's hairdressing salon (used to communicate with the gang's mastermind) spoofs the secret gadgets used in the James Bond spy films of the Sixties, while the gimmick of having the mastermind conceal his identity throughout the film (he is never seen on screen) spoofs the character of Bond villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld, who was originally only an unseen voice. Plot"Alphonse" Askett (Frankie Howerd) is a hairdresser who is also the operational leader of a gang of crooks who are led behind the scenes by an invisible mastermind (voiced by Stratford Johns). He gives instructions to Askett about the robbery, Operation Windfall, using a variety of James Bond-like communications devices—including a converted showerhead. The crooks hide the loot in Hamingwell Grange, a deserted country mansion, and after waiting for the hue and cry to die down they return to collect the numerous mailbags which contain £2.5 million (the same amount as in the real robbery). However, following a Labour Party election triumph, the house has been converted into a new home for St Trinian's School for Girls. The crooks decide to infiltrate the school by sending Askett's delinquent daughters, Lavinia and Marcia Mary, to St Trinian's as pupils, with instructions to case the joint to find a means of recovering the money, secretly, from its hiding place. The crooks' subsequent attempt to retrieve the mailbags on Parents' Day, disguised as caterers, results in a climactic train chase between the robbers and the girls. A sub-plot is the affair between the headmistress of St Trinian's and the Minister, who uses his influence to corruptly obtain a large government grant for re-housing the school, following the latest fire, thus enabling it to move into the mansion. This angers his staff who are normally Conservatives but who, early in the film, are seen excitedly watching Labour win the election, as they believe St Trinians will be shut down by a Labour government.

In the final railway scene where the girls 'return' the money the British Railways station at Liss can be seen in the background. The locomotives used were:
The extras on board the St Trinian's train were pupils from a local convent school. In addition the school used for much of the filming was Little Abbey Preparatory School, near Liss. The school was in fact the other side of the moor from Longmoor. This was previously a Boys own Preparatory school based at Burghclere near Newbury, but had coincidentally merged with a Girls Preparatory School at the location at Liss 9 months prior to the making of the film ReceptionThe film was among the 15 most popular movies at the British box office in 1966.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://explore.bfi.org.uk/4ce2b6ab86ca2|title=The Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery (1966) - BFI|work=BFI}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.themoviescene.co.uk/reviews/the-great-st-trinians-train-robbery/the-great-st-trinians-train-robbery.html|title=The Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery (1966) starring Frankie Howerd, Dora Bryan, George Cole, Reg Varney, Raymond Huntley, Richard Wattis, Portland Mason, Terry Scott, Eric Barker directed by Sidney Gilliat, and Frank Launder - movie review on The Movie Scene|publisher=}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.radiotimes.com/film/ym9m/the-great-st-trinians-train-robbery/|title=The Great St Trinian's Train Robbery – review - cast and crew, movie star rating and where to watch film on TV and online|website=Radio Times}} 4. ^"Most popular star for third time."
