ABOUT THE FILM

Glenn Ford and Sidney Poitier star in a gritty urban drama about a high school teacher who will not allow himself to be defeated by his tough inner city students … even when he is assaulted and his pregnant wife is threatened. This groundbreaking classic film shocked viewers by exposing the reality of America’s schools and by featuring then-controversial rock ‘n’ roll in the soundtrack. Based on the bestseller by Evan Hunter.
