Blackboard Jungle, The

 

USA 1955, 100 minutes, B/W
Dir. Richard Brooks
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Classics, Drama / Youth

Feat. Glenn Ford, Sidney Poitier, Vic Morrow

 

Aroview: Famously controversial on release and first of the 'Rock-n-roll' films, this lifted the lid on the heated youth tensions in 50s America. Idealistic teacher Glenn Ford struggles to combat the anti-authoritarian resentment of his pupils, including a young Sidney Poitier. Well-worn subject matter is greatly lifted by the performances and tight, sane treatment.
