The original film poster for the fearsome juvenile crime movie issued during the youth gang/rock'n roll hysteria in post-war America. It would be difficult to over estimate the impact of this movie - especially for the American teenager. Based on the 1954 novel The Blackboard Jungle by Evan Hunter it is remembered for its use of rock and roll in its soundtrack, the breakout role of a black cast member Sidney Poitier, as a rebellious yet musically talented student, and the violence. In 2016, Blackboard Jungle was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
