10:00 PM Blackboard Jungle (1955)

&ab_channel=Gen.BuckTurgidson
Film opening with "Rock Around the Clock."

An idealistic teacher confronts the realities of juvenile delinquency. One of the first film's to use a rock 'n' roll song in its opening.

Dir: Richard Brooks Cast: Glenn Ford, Anne Francis, Sidney Poitier, Louis Calhern, Vic Morrow, Jamie Farr.

Trivia: Clare Boothe Luce, then U.S. Ambassador to Italy, prevented the film from being shown at the Venice Film Festival; and a Senate committee had decided that the film would not have beneficial effects on contemporary youth. Both incidents only served to increase publicity and ticket sales for the controversial movie.

Trivia: When Sidney Poitier showed up to start work on this film, he was called to the front office by a studio lawyer. Told they were concerned about his activism and association with blacklisted actors Paul Robeson and Canada Lee, he was asked to sign a loyalty oath to the American government. Poitier thought that was ridiculous and director Richard Brooks agreed, so they simply started shooting. He never heard from the studio lawyer again.

Trivia: The film marked the debuts of Vic Morrow, James Drury and Jamie Farr. Morrow beat out an aspiring actor named Steve McQueen for his role.

Trivia: Paul McCartney stated in "The Beatles Anthology" that when he was 15 and George Harrison was 14 they had a great desire to see the film because "Rock Around The Clock" was its theme, but they needed to be 16 to gain entrance. Because George looked so young, Paul took some dirt and rubbed it on his upper lip for a mustache. The ruse worked and they both were admitted but, as Paul stated, they were disappointed and bored because the film was all acting and talking, and not anything salacious as they had hoped.
