I saw this movie for the first time. It was interesting from start to finish, and Sandy Dennis is one attractive lady.

Been many years since I read the book and saw the movie. Liked both very much. To quote Roger Ebert, "Here is an honest film about one aspect of life as it is lived in our large cities. The school and the students come through with unmistakable authenticity. The camera is alert but not obtrusive, allowing the classroom to emerge spontaneously and not through stagy tricks, and everything is brought together by Miss Dennis' quiet, natural, splendid performance."

I remember seeing this as a little girl. I loved that movie. I'd really like to see it again!
