About this product

Product Information

Richard Dadier is a man eager to make a difference. Or, some might say, hes a believer in lost causes. Dadier is a new teacher at inner-city North Manual High.Racial and sexual tensions. Violence. Gangs. Apathy. What Blackboard Jungle tackled years ago are still hot-button issues in schools. Glenn Ford as Dadier clings to his ideals and pays a price vying with teen misfits led by Vic Morrow and, in a star-making performance, a too-cool-to-cope Sidney Poitier. Directed by Richard Brooks, Blackboard Jungle is brisk, urgent, powerful. And it starts with the influential Rock Around the Clock, said to be the first use of rock n roll in a mainstream movie.Think it'll catch on?

  • The best picture, I have ever seen.

    I went to the Regent Picture Show, in Cessnock, 1955, to watch this picture. As soon as Bill Hayley & the Comets, started singing, Rock around the Clock, us kids, started to try & dance on the seats. Got kicked out by the manager. It has take 68 years for me, to watch this picture. I have watched it, 7 times. The best picture, I have ever seen. Very happy now.

  • Blackboard Jungle - Compelling Viewing

    This story from the fifties is very thought provoking & it was very well acted. At the time this movie was first shown, it caused much contoversy & highlighted problems of the youth at that time. Unfortunately, these problems still exist today & no one knows how to overcome them.
