- "[T]here are plenty of laughs and the charming performances, in the smaller roles as well as the more substantial, are ones to savour. "
- "If you’re looking to acquaint yourself with the golden age of British cinema, School For Scoundrels is an excellent place to start. "
- "Terry-Thomas in particular is outstanding as a classic British bounder ... Sim creates another memorably eccentric authority figure, and the supporting cast includes such comedy stalwarts as John Le Mesurier, Hattie Jacques (who were married at the time) and Irene Handl."
