Why Shoot the Teacher?

1977 · 1 hr 40 mins

It's the winter of 1935 and Max Brown is newly arrived in Willowgreen, Saskatchewan - a rural Canadian prairie town - on his first teaching job in a one room schoolhouse. He quickly realizes that this is not a dream situation: the winter is harsher than he's ever experienced, he's living in the basement of the school, the older of his students treat him poorly and his wages are paltry if and when he ever does get paid.

Director: Silvio Narizzano

Cast: Bud Cort, Samantha Eggar, Chris Wiggins, Gary Reineke, John Friesen
