This classic JD flick was meant to be a searing indictment of the growing problem of juvenile delinquency in urban high-schools, but wound up saying more American mores of the 1950s, and the post-WWII generation of parents who had grown afraid of its children. Glenn Ford stars as a newly returned veteran who takes a teaching job in an inner-city school. He soons runs afoul of some of his tougher students, including the unforgettable Vic Morrow.
