Humorless version of Kaufman's novel doesn't show Mulligan's personal touch.

One of Hollywood's earnest efforts about highschool education, sort of a female version of Blackboard Jungle and To Sir With Love, with Sandy Dennis in the lead.

Audience Reviews for Up the Down Staircase
-
Apr 29, 2011Well made, well acted drama of a young teacher's struggle to adapt to a tough inner city school. Some of the sheen has worn off the topicality of the issue since there have been many versions of it but this is a fine rendering of the tale. Sandy Dennis is perfectly cast in the lead.jay n Super Reviewer
