Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDonald Hewlett and Melvyn Hayes would both end up being cast as regulars on the BBC sitcom 'It Ain't Half Hot Mum (1974)' (1974-1981), fourteen years after this film was released.
- GoofsWhen the boys are rioting in the school yard, they are deemed to be using radio controlled model planes to attack the teachers. As the models fly low over the top of the teachers who are crawling low along the ground, (it would not be allowed these days) the models are clearly not radio controlled models, but rather the control line variety. Their circular flight path makes this very obvious.
- Quotes
Professor Jim Edwards: [Addressing three new boys] Now what should you know about this school? A phrase to remember is the Latin one, "Mens sana in corpore sano", "Healthy mind, healthy body". We give you the choice.
- ConnectionsSpin-off from Whack-O! (1956)
Featured review
The Cane Mutiny
'If....' was a shameless plagiarism of 'Zero de Conduite', but Mario Zampi had already anticipated the anarchistic shenanigans of Anderson's film (aided and abetted by his regular collaborator Michael Pertwee, whose abrasive cynicism had already complemented Zampi's genial good humour on several previous occasions and who's script here manages to reference both Castro and the volatility of the Middle East) with far less conceit and self-regard in this big screen version of the TV series 'Wacko!'
Jimmy Edwards' venal and sadistic headmaster with a taste for corporal punishment was already a long-established comic figure in a tradition that extended back at least as far as Beachcomber's Narkover stories and the films of Will Hay (to whom the presence of Martita Hunt provides a direct visual link).
