Blackboard Jungle

In a drama that became both a scandal and a box-office success, Poitier plays Gregory Miller, the leader of an interracial gang at an inner-city school where Glenn Ford’s new teacher struggles to maintain control. Although a supporting character, Miller is unforgettable – a sullen, self-assured, sexually charged Black counterpart to the Hollywood youth antihero of the 1950s.

Contains violence, thwarted sexual assault, racist language and outdated racial terms.
