Review of Blackboard Jungle (1955) by Jess L — 19 Aug 2007
The original high school delinquent movie. Certainly more dramatic than the films of the same theme these days and by dramatic I mean brutal but in a sort of Broadway show way. Perhaps this is just the time the film was made in.
Anyway excellent movie well worth watching especially to see where this type of movie originated from. Sidney Poitier makes a stand out performance as the quiet yet unopposed student leader.
