A Touch of Greatness

I would have LOVED a teacher like him. He introduced elementary school kids to the likes of Shakespeare, Shaw, Julius Caesar, and even Federico Garcia Lorca! Unbelievable. This documentary was simply riveting, IMO. Black and white archival footage of Al and the kids circa late 50's early 60's mixed with interviews of him and the "kids" today. Plus footage of a school reunion in Room #5 (I think it was) in 1999. Good stuff! Catch it if you can.
