Some other films (and articles on) to consider: Jean Vigo, ZERO FOR CONDUCT Lindsay Anderson, IF . . . both versions of THE BROWNING VERSION TOM BROWN'S SCHOOLDAYS GOODBYE, MR. CHIPS A SEPARATE PEACE Malle's AU REVOIR, LES ENFANTS CHILD'S PLAY (1972, not to be confused with the later Chucky movies) THE POWER OF ONE the original Clouzot version of DIABOLIQUE THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP DAVID COPPERFIELD YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES FAREWELL, MY CONCUBINE SCHOOL TIES Welles' THE STRANGER ANOTHER COUNTRY (about Burgess and McLean) LITTLE MEN Note that these include films that are fairly drenched in nostalgia and films that are drenched in vitriol. Some focus on the teachers, and some only have a few scenes set at the schools themselves. You might also be interested in films that specifically deal with military schools: THE LORDS OF DISCIPLINE TAPS THE PRIVATE WAR OF MAJOR BENSON THE MAJOR AND THE MINOR THE STRANGE ONE, with a young Ben Gazzara UP THE ACADEMY (openly disavowed by MAD magazine, which originally commissioned it) TOY SOLDIERS For films about girls, you might consider JANE EYRE PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE LOLITA THE BELLES OF ST. TRINIANS and its sequels A LITTLE PRINCESS MADELINE MATILDA Don Larsson ----------------------------------------------------------- Donald F.
