La Bande à Curley

A delightful film that I first saw as a teenager in the 1950s and was able to identify with very closely. Frances Rafferty's portrayal of the new teacher did much to bring the film to life - I had always wished for a teacher like her. It was great to see the reaction of her charges when she turned out to be not quite what they had expected. One of my all-time favourite films for pure entertainment. Not deep but well acted, interesting, and a good treatment of a juvenile subject.
