A Touch of Greatness

The remarkable teacher Albert Cullum broke the mold for the boring, uninspiring public school teachers in the 1950s and 60s. This film depicts how he inspired his students of all ages through movement and imagination, and how he challenged them to want to learn more through acting in theatrical productions of the classics. The productions were unconventional by every school standard, but gained recognition throughout the state for being groundbreaking and inspiring.
