This is the movie that made Rock'n'Roll mainstream. When this movie came out the kids would start riotous behavior when the song "Rock Around the Clock" started playing at the begining of the movie. Glenn Ford plays a high school english teacher, Mr Dadeir, for some inner-city hoodlums. Sidney Poitier is one of his students (Ironically he play an identical role about ten years later in To Sir With Love)
Watch for Jamie Farr of MASH fame as well in this movie (Clue: He is the idiot)
This film will not make my top 100 list but it is worth a watch due to its place in pop culture history.
