OLD MOTHER RILEY, HEADMISTRESS

Original British 30 inch x 40 inch Quad Poster for the 1950 John Harlow Comedy OLD MOTHER RILEY, HEADMISTRESS starring Arthur Lucan, Kitty McShane, The Luton Girls’ Choir, Willer Neal, Cyril Smith, C. Denier Warren, Enid Hewitt and Harry Herbert.

Daughter Kitty is sacked from her job as music teacher at an exclusive girls school, but Mother Riley unexpectedly comes into an inheritance, and decides to buy the girls finishing school and give Kitty her job back. Mother Riley soon establishes herself as headmistress at St. Mildred’s School for Young Ladies, and throws herself into her new role with vigour, whether it’s taking P.E. lessons, brazenly cheating on Sports Day, or confronting the haunted school piano.
