4 stars (Very Good) Story of a radical English teacher who doesn't fit into the conservative boarding school where he teaches, but his charisma and love of poetry inspires several boys to revive a secret society with a bohemian bent. Memorable tear-jerker. ~GenXGirl

2 stars (Good Try) 35 years on it hasn't dated too well. Also, the ending is melodramatic and silly. ~Tubbs
