Movie Reviews of Up the Down Staircase
Movie Review: Urban High School Blight
Summary: 5 Stars
A product of an overcrowded urban high school in the '50' and a teacher in yet another overcrowded urban high school from 1966-1996, I can attest to the authenticity of the characters and scenarios of "Up the Down Staircase." And there were, indeed, staircases so labeled in order to prevent traffic jams during passing. There were teachers who were pompous and insensitive and others who were vivacious and caring. Some became burnt out from never feeling fulfilled. A few, however, remained inspired. All this comes to light in this movie, including an administration, which seems more concerned with following meaningless rules than it does with meaningful education. Sandy Denis looks to me too young to be a teacher, but then again there were many who would ask me for a hall pass during my first couple of years as a teacher. I was 22 in 1966. The movie is hopeful and uplifting, without failing to show that not everything even a good teacher contributes results in success.
