    You nailed it; it was Kiley's character. A nice enough guy who had absolutely no business trying to teach in that school.

    Your point is spot on; although, I think it was another teacher's records that the kids smashed.

    ⇧ Another fun comparison is to look back in Poitier's career to 1955's "Blackboard Jungle" when he played one of the "troubled" kids and Glenn Ford was the teacher trying to break through.

    To Sir, With Love from 1967 with Sidney Poitier, Lulu, Judy Geeson and Suzy Kendall Sidney Poitier was on fire in the 1960s, banging out one impressive movie after another, with many, like To Sir, With Love, driven by an idealized 1960s social conscience. Even if their simple social solutions...

    Under Eighteen from 1931 with Marion Marsh, Warren William, Anita Page and Norman Foster It's not easy to pigeonhole Under Eighteen, an engaging picture that is part kitchen-sink drama (before that name existed), part romcom, and part pre-code sexcapade. Here, these disparate parts are...

    I enjoyed that one a lot, too. My comments on it here #30,722 (As always, feel free to ignore, we all have too much to do.) I've watched a few Hallmark Xmas ones, too (kinda in the background). I did enjoy "Rescuing Christmas" and "The Christmas charade."

    Not defending the white-dinner-jacket-wearing Coward, but will note, his (Coward wrote, co-directed, and stared-in) "In Which We Serve" is a heck of a propaganda movie. One of my favorites of WWII and there are plenty to choose from...
