A Touch of Greatness Movie Review 2004

Chronicles the story of Albert Cullum, an elementary school teacher who pushed the boundaries of elementary education in the 1960s and 1970s. Cullum employed unorthodox techniques in his classroom; he believed that excitement and productivity were linked, and by utilizing the imagination, drama and poetry in his teachings he inspired a passion for learning in his students. A must for students of education and seasoned teachers seeking inspiration. Includes more than two hours of bonus features, including black and white archival footage, interviews with Cullum and former students, television broadcasts, and 1960s footage filmed by Robert Downey Sr.
