Critic Reviews for Up the Down Staircase
All Critics (5) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (1)
We need more American films like Up the Down Staircase. We need more films that might be concerned, even remotely, with real experiences that might once have happened to real people.
Humorless version of Kaufman's novel doesn't show Mulligan's personal touch.
Picks up where Blackboard Jungle (1955) left off.
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
Well 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.
