The Happiest Days of Your Life

The Happiest Days of Your Life is a 1950 British comedy film directed by Frank Launder, based on the play by John Dighton. The two men also wrote the screenplay. Its one of a stable of classic British film comedies produced by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat for British Lion Film Corporation. The film was made on location and at Riverside Studios, London. In several respects, including some common casting, it was a precursor of the more anarchic St. Trinians films of the 1950s.

Additional humour is derived from the departure of the Nutbourne College domestic staff and their hurried and not very effective replacement with the St Swithins School Home Economics class.The main comedy is derived from the fact that the parents of the St Swithins girls would consider it improper for their daughters to be exposed to the rough mix of boys in Ponds school, and from the consequent need to conceal the fact that the girls are now sharing a school thats full of boys. Pond is offended at the suggestion that his boys are not suitable company for the young ladies of St Swithins, but he needs to appease Miss Whitchurch to salvage his chances of an appointment to a prestigious allboys school for which he is in the running, and which depends on his ability to prevent his current post presenting the appearance of a bear garden. ........
