Cooley High (Criterion Collection)

In early-'60s Chicago, an education was supposed to be your way out of the projects, but the class wasn't made that wannabe writer Preach Jackson (Glynn Turman) and girl-chasing jock Cochise Morris (Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs) couldn't figure out how to cut. Heartfelt urban comedy-drama that would serve as the basis for TV's "What's Happening!!" co-stars Garrett Morris, Cynthia Davis, Corin Rogers. 107 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Uncompressed PCM mono; Subtitles: English (SDH); interview; "making of" featurette; more.
