Teachers

Nick Nolte, JoBeth Williams, Judd Hirsch. They fall asleep in class, and they’re the teachers! Alex, once an idealistic educator, is now more concerned with sobering up than he is with his students’ grades. Add an ineffective principal, an imperious vice-principal, a hard-nosed superintendent, and an illiterate graduate, and you’ve got yourself one satirical look at the lowlives of urban high schools. Directed by Arthur Hiller. 1984/color/107 min/R/widescreen.
