'''''School for Randle''''' is a 1949 British [[comedy film]] directed by [[John E. Blakeley]] and starring [[Frank Randle]], [[Dan Young]] and Alec Pleon.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090117035938/http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/339798 BFI.org]</ref> The plot concerns a school caretaker who turns out to be the father of one of the pupils. When she runs away from home to pursue a career on the stage, he goes to persuade her to come back to school. The title is a reference to the [[Richard Brinsley Sheridan]] play ''[[The School for Scandal]]''. It was made at the [[Manchester Studios]], and was one of a string of cheaply made and profitable films starring Randle during the era.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.screenonline.org.uk/people/id/506704/|title=BFI Screenonline: Blakeley, John E. (1888-1958) Biography|publisher=}}</ref>

==Plot==
Former Music-Hall act 'Flatfoot' Mason (Frank Randle) is caretaker at a school where one of the pupils, and unbeknownst to her, is his daughter, Betty (Terry Randall); who was put up for adoption when his wife died. She is now a teenager and this causes concern, as the staff feel 'Flatfoot' is being over attentive to her. Told to pay her less attention, 'Flatfoot' reluctantly obeys, but Betty thinks he's rejecting her and decides to run away to make her name in show business. Along with fellow caretakers (Dan Young and Alec Pleon), 'Flatfoot' tracks her down to a seedy cabaret club. In disguise as a Chinese acrobatic troupe, "The Three Who Flungs", 'Flatfoot' and friends attempt to persuade Betty to come home.
