Ten films set in one of Britain's top boarding schools for boys.

Radley College has a reputation for producing first-class oarsmen and race-winning crews. The school's commitment to preserving this reputation is huge, both in time and in money. But 79 is not a vintage year. As the day of the prestigious National Schools Regatta approaches, the Radley First VIII coach is a worried man. His crew is not fast enough.
