Cooley High Summary
MPAA Rating: PG
Director: Michael Schultz
Genres: Comedy Drama
Rating:
Michael_Schultz directed this deeply felt recollection of adolescent life on Chicago's near North Side in 1964. Like American_Graffiti, Cooley High deals with girl, school, and police troubles as a group of high-school seniors prepare for post-high-school life. The chums are Glynn_Turman as "Preach," who loves to read poetry and history and wants to become a Hollywood screenwriter, but who has the worst grades in the school; and Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs as Cochise, the high-school basketball star and suave lady-killer. Preach has to contend with love problems in the form of Brenda (Cynthia_Davis), school problems with emphatic teacher Mr. Mason (Garrett_Morris), and law problems with street toughs Stone (Shermann_Smith) and Robert (Norman_Gibson). Paul Brenner, Rovi
