Lindsay Anderson Director

previously directed The White Bus

Anderson's second feature film is a dramatic and darkly humorous satire of the English school system. In it, three students led by the charismatic Mick Travis, rebel against their cruel superiors. It is the first in a loosely connected trilogy of films all starring Malcolm McDowell.

Quote: History Master

Or perhaps you fashionably and happily believe... that it's all a simple matter of evil dictators... rather than whole populations of evil people like... ourselves? Do you disagree? Don't you find this view of history facile?
