In this gritty urban drama, war veteran Richard Dadier (Glenn Ford) wants to begin his career as a teacher and is given an assignment at a boys high school in inner-city New York. However, he soon discovers the school is overrun by delinquents, led by Artie West (Vic Morrow), an insolent hood who likes to call Richard "Mr. Daddy-O." Artie and his gang steal, destroy property, refuse to respect authority, and threaten the female teachers with rape. While most of the faculty have given up and meekly let the delinquents do what they want, Dadier is determined to bring order back to his classroom, even after Artie's thugs threaten Richard's pregnant wife. Keep your eyes peeled for a bit part by Jameel Farah, years before he would change his name to Jamie Farr. Blackboard Jungle was also the first major studio film to use rock & roll on the soundtrack; the film's success kick-started sales of "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley & His Comets, which helped to spark the rock & roll boom of the 1950s. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
These "WOOD AD MATS" are really Molds/Lead Forms that were
intended to have molten lead poured into to them create castings, and
then discarded. This was the way that Newspaper ads, press book Ad Mats
and various publications were produced up until the mid 1960's. Most
newspapers were done via letterpress printing and utilized what is
called hot type. The lead was melted and then used to type out words
and imprint pictures. Pictures were usually in the form of one of these
molds, which is composed of a wood fiber material specially, designed
to accept the molten lead. Once cooled the casting was secured in the
desired position in the letterpress, inked and paper placed on top of
the lead casting. The press was then brought down under pressure and
'whala' a spiffy movie ad for a film coming to a theater near you!
Electronic typesetting made this process obsolete over 40 years ago!
Today's computers and technology make this process extremely efficient.
The Extremely Fine artwork in this is just incredible! My picture just
does not do it justice at all.
