- Synopsis:
The Melbury Primary Boarding School For Boys has a strong tradition to maintain and a sturdy, academic reputation to uphold. It is a place of discipline and studious dedication where strict rules are to be followed. But all of that is about to change with the arrival of mademoiselle Madeleine Lafarge, the new French master that happens to be a mistress. With curves and swerves in all the right places (and a penchant for walking around extremely tight shorts and bikini tops) the exotic tutor manages to get the boys of Melbury a bit hot under their starched collars. Suddenly the prospect of learning a second language seems a lot more appealing. But unknown to the boys, their headmaster has a skeleton in his closet which leads to the dismissal of Madeleine. The Melbury lads are having none of it. It's time for them to take things into their own hands, to stand up and be counted. It's time for mutiny! - Actors:

Stand Outside the Headmaster's Door - A French Mistress review by CH
Although I have a penchant for English comedies of this period, this one is somewhat slack in the telling. That said, it is carried along by the adroit
performances given many of the seasoned actors. And, in these times, there is a peculiar horror to the opening scenes when the pupils take to the school's driveway with placards to protest about the arrival of somebody from France.
