Glenn Ford gets hired in i guess a trade school. There are no female students, so I assume that's what it is. Good acting, but phony sets. Should have been on location for more realism. Two problems beside the unrealistic settings. First, does the Ford character teach only one class? You never see how his other students behave. More realistic to show all his 8 classes or so. Secondly, these hoodlums don't swear? Also, why did the Ford character stay after being beaten up? A tacked on "happy" ending seems very artificail. Some of the "kids" seem like they're in their twenties as I'm sure some of the actors were. Still, interesting viewing and some good ideas and idealists.
