Conocemos al mismo tiempo que Dadier al resto de profesores, destacando Jim Murdock (Louis Calhern), un homb... read more

Description: Richard Dadier is a man eager to make a difference. Or, some might say, he's 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 50 years ago are still hot-button issues in schools. Glenn Ford as Dadier clings to his ide ... (more)
