"Owen got picked off third???? Don't threaten to steal home unless you mean it!"

Up the Down Staircase from 1967 with Sandy Dennis, Patrick Bedford, Eileen Heckart and Roy Poole You can pull some "timeless lessons" out of Up the Down Staircase, if you really try hard, but it is easier to just see it as a well-acted relic of late 1960s idealism meets reality in an "inner...- Fading Fast
