Escalier interdit (1967)
Une jeune enseignante d’anglais fait sa rentrée au Calvin Coolidge College, un lycée « difficile » de New-York. Les locaux sont vétustes et surpeuplés, les livres et les chaises manquent, et malgré la discipline de fer qu’essaie de faire régner le surveillant général, la jeune prof pleine d’espoir est vite débordée par des élèves survoltés qui accumulent les difficultés : pauvreté, racisme, acculturation… Soumise à d’incessantes provocations, comment pourra-t-elle mener sa mission ?
