Based on the novel by Evan Hunter

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer

U.S.A. 1955

Blackboard Jungle was originally rejected in the UK for containing "unbridled, revolting hooliganism" and having a "damaging and harmful effect on teenagers". It was eventually released as an X certificate after around 5 minutes of footage was removed. When shown at a South London Cinema in Elephant and Castle in 1956 the teenage Teddy Boy audience began to riot, tearing up seats and dancing in the aisles. After that, riots took place around the country wherever the film was shown.

DAILY EXPRESS . . . 'precocious teenage world of pep-pills, parties and punch-ups, all vividly and waspishly observed'

SUNDY TELEGRAPH . . . 'as hip a description of the teenage scene as has appeared for some time'

SPECTATOR . . . ' a splendid piece of documentary writing'

EVENING STANDARD . . . ' Miss Gaskell's style is crisp, concise and lively, the dialogue waspish and with-it, the observationb of teenage morals and manners rings authentic'

HARPER'S BAZZAR

'A book not to give your aunt'
