YOUNG William Shatner as Empathetic Teacher - 1961
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 гру 2010
- A very young and handsome William Shatner doing his best to get in touch with his students learning needs -- from the movie "The Explosive Generation" -- all he was trying to do was to get them to think for themselves... a ridiculous notion pointed out by his colleagues. The adults have to do the thinking for them, everyone knows that. Geez.
This is where he introduces his students to the Kobayashi Maru Test,...
…but he’s okay with cheating on it.
The Shat practically radiates warp energy.
Shatner's voice is really smooth in this clip.
He was so hunky 😍
And many would argue he still is… 🖖
Damn it, Jim. I’m a captain, not a teacher!
Hey, why did I never have a teacher who was that good-looking?
I'm one of them! hehehehehehe.
*@Andromedastar* 'Cause if they were that good-looking, it wouldntve been long before theyd said "Forget this job. Time to audition, land a role, & make some REAL money!"
Lovely, gorgeous Shatner!
I'm hardly Shatner's #1 fan, but he's had a heck of a career, and he's still a really classy guy. Few actors age as gracefully as he has -- this is a fun movie in a corny kind of way, but you can certainly see his appeal early in his career. This was the first movie he was the leading man (imdb).
most beautiful man ever
Amazing! That is Beau Bridges as one of the students.
He had the most amazing, exotic-looking eyes. What I love, though, is that he doesn't take himself too seriously. Not only that - he now looks like a well-preserved, good-looking 65-year-old man. AND HE IS 85. 85 freaking years old! He doesn't look, sound, move, think, or act like a man above 70, and it isn't just demeanour, it's attitude. He either made a deal with the devil or is on to something the rest of us need to pay attention to. This movie was 55 years ago. Can't even wrap my head around it!
He's 'on to' cosmetic surgery. But yes, he has a lust for life that I think goes a long way.
ferociousgumby I know! Caught "Better Late Than Man" and I thought to my self I couldn't do half the stuff he did! Still "my fat olds man"! Love him.
William Shatner's toupee is the best site on the subject shatnerstoupee.blogspot.com/
(From 1921) Now this gorgeous man is 90 years old! Cannot believe it. Still amazing. Going stronger at 90 than I am at 70! I’ve been in love with him since 1966, how can that be?
Timeless
Man, things never change….
As a Star Trek fan, captain Kirk writing "SEX" in capital letters is all I ever wanted. XD
never quite thought about it that way, but I see your point...
I watched this movie many years ago and let me tell you, it was terrific. The teacher lost his job in the end but Shatner certainly showed he had some terrific acting chops!
where can i get this movie???
Is this movie available anywhere?
No, he didn’t lose his job. The student protest was successful, and he stayed.
Ah! Si j'avais eu william shatner comme professeur j'aurai tout appris😘😜😊
I LOVE YOU MISTER SHATNER ❤
Blimey! if he was my teacher I wouldn't get any work done too busy get told off by him for staring. 😍
You can see the boom in his face! Great low budget film!
Barnabas Collins, Opus an Bill, who says we can't find common ground in this polarized society over timeless art. Or Bill Shatner.
I like him better as a starship captain because he projects the right kind of authority, the type needed to run a ship. Here, that manner doesn't quite fit somehow. At one point he addresses a student who answers him, and I expected him to say "THATS NOT GOOD ENOUGH SCOTTY!"
Edward Platt from Get Smart!
As the youngest brother Karamazov, he was even lovelier.
That Shatner haircut was sooo 1960s but ultra cool even so, very....Captain like😉
I used to dream about him❤️
That's my boy Bill!!!
He must be a cyborg Hes been around forever
The day he leaves us, will be hard for a lot of people.
Well he just been to space and back. Still alive and kicking at 90. Healthy as a horse
Boom in the shot!!! 0:10
i am a huge shatner fan,but i have never seen this film before.this is still a few years before star trek,also in this film is edward platt who played the chief in the great series get smart,i loved that guy..about 2 weeks ago saw the film incubus from 1964 for the first time with shatner and then saw him on the tv shows 12 o'clock high and route 66.
Education's gone downhill since they took boom mikes out of the classroom.
Here, Shatner is ahead of Sidney Poitier in "To Sir With Love"....all that's lacking here is Lulu and Judy Geeson.
*@Rhubba* 💯% agreed. Too bad the thinking teachers who make you THINK instead of just memorizing texts are now extinct. The last thing the rich & powerful want is a self-sufficient, thinking, reasoning populace...
If more everyday Americans were like that, the rich & powerful would be right where they belong: vulnerable to Media exposure, vulnerable to prosecution, & most likely imprisoned
Captain...hold your thought...we've just entered into a space anomaly. What do we do?
Love the boom microphone in the first shot. Pure professionalism.
Gotta love them ol’ movies…
Like the mic in the shot! The voice track sounds fast...Beau Bridges, too!
And who does Shatner have to deal with in the principal's office? None other than the Chief from "Get Smart"(Ed Platt).
Shatner actually played the pre-Peter Sellars Inspector Clouseau (as Paul Sevigne) role on Broadway in the farce A Shot in the Dark. For about a year he co-starred with Walter Matthau and Julie Harris. Would've loved to have seen that!
Shatner turned 90 on March 22, 2021.
@John B 90? Yeah, right, be serious. Fake news. Let me google his real age, hmm...click...tap...swipe... Oh. Um, 90. On March 22.
Good for him 😀!
Patty McCormack was very Beautiful, when she was young !
The Bad Seed!
4:32 Billy Gray from Father Knows Best?
*"Sorry about that, Chief."
😆
"Missed it by that much..."
At point :30 - :38 , is that Diana Muldaur in the background, to the right? (Muldaur from Star Trek episode: "Is There in Truth No Beauty?")
Hmm... you're right it does look like her but the jawline is broader/wider... just checked IMDB and it doesn't list her in the cast but COULD be an uncredited role.
You can see the boom microphone in the first part of the opening scene.
Students are a young Beau Bridges and Billy Grey from 'Father Knows Best'.
i enjoy the large boom mike at the beginning...
A young very Beau Bridges is there at 2.12 !
lol, the Principal Mr. Morton is Control!!
And the lead blonde teenager is the actress from the movie "The Bad Seed". (I guess she straightened herself out, right?)
Shatner should have told the principal he'd only talk with him under the "come of silence."
Hahaha "Here's the way we're gonna do it". 5:00
1:24 Beau Bridges
💕
12:33 Shatner said to his principal in a nasal voice, "Sorry 'bout that chief"
As soon as I saw who that principal was, I knew there would be KAOS!! That pigheaded father is exactly why teens are afraid to talk with their parents about sex.
He sure has a way with that blonde who keeps on putting herself in his way...
Just imagine how many blondes, brunettes, redheads, etc, put themselves in his way off-camera back in the day. 🤔
1:13 *IF A TEACHER EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT DOING THAT TODAY......*
Ed Platt the Chief! Beau Bridges. And another guy whose name I can't remember (standing behind his "dad" at 8:32) and various other familiar character actors including Mr. Belligerent. But I would like to have seen the whole thing.
They do not look like teens more closer to thirty.
Child labor laws.... 😳. Or probably more accurately, Shatner inspiring a 1960s sex conversation with real, clearly obvious sixteens year olds would have adversely impacted his budding acting career. I'm a retired High School teacher and the only way I would have approached that lesson is with a class of students held back for five or six years. Except for the starry eyed blonde (not really) (okay, really) (but that's a joke, I didn't mean it like that) (unless she showed up at my trailer between shooting) (then I would have to give her a stern lecture on appropriate behavior) (and a spanking) (on her bare bottom). And then, I'd be blacklisted in television and movies and the only part I'd ever get for the rest to my Shakespearian-trained acting career would be the anonymous guy in the Enterprise landing parties that beams down to planets and is killed in the first 20 seconds. But I digress... that's just me, speaking off the top of my head, it's not like I've given it any thought before this second. But Shatner, he's above all that, he has bigger goals in life (KKKAAAAAHHHNNNN!) Times like this I wish I had a Shatner emoji.... 🤔🖖
Saw the son on father knows best
Is that Jeff bridges at 1:30? I think shatner refered to him as StevenSteven
+mateollios 67 I think it's Beau Bridges.
mateollios 67- No, it's his brother Beau, who for many years was the better known, and more popular, of the acting brothers.
Yes its Beau and at 12.10
Is that Martin Sheen at the 4:16 mark on the extreme right of the screen?
I don't believe so... I think he just has those classic Sheen features, but there's probably someone out there that can not only confirm but also give us the name of that guy. 🤔
No, that guy was a very popular "young rebel" actor in the 50s and 60s. Sorry I don't know his name.
It costed $40 to fix a transmission? And there is a young Beau Bridges. 4:17 - I wonder who that pretty girl is.
Reminds me of Mr. Novak
That is a raw deal. No wonder people have sex hang ups. Everyone needs to hear the truth.
Is this an unearthed Twilight Zone episode?😊
The shat was Kirk BEFORE Star Trek...
Hold it! Hold it! - definite Kirkism there.
Is that a Beau Bridges?
Yup siree (I made a joking comment elsewhere that both Jeff and Beau were on set in case one was too fussy to work, but that was a stupid old Hollywood child actor joke, and the fact I have to say that means it wasn't a very good one). Anyway, yes, that's Beau -- if you check out IMDB or maybe wikipedia (wherever you might find a cast listing), you might be surprised at some of the cast members in 1961 that had early or bit parts -- beyond Shatner of course, and Edward Platt (it's too bad they didn't have the foresight to give the Platt's principal office some kind of Get Smart spy entryway... and maybe just one time have Shatner say the "Don't tell me.... I asked you not to tell me that" gag.🤣 But these early sixties bad movies were exactly crucibles of prescience🤔 (Platt wouldn't be The Chief until 1965, so he had four more years to work his way up from School Principal). I think some oof these movies are great fun, I need to post a few more -- this one was near and dear to me heart because as a young man, I was the idealistic young teacher "challenging the system, man." 😳 I just wish I was getting laid as much as Shatner was back then (no, not by students, either). But, I digress... 🤦♂️
Ed Platt, where's 86 and 99?
They had yet to entire high school... “missed it by that much.”
Damn, usually when people say an old movie is still relevant today it’s hokey, but this really could be the 90s or even today. Teens need to learn real relationship advice and sex etiquette or they’ll get in trouble or take advice from the wrong people.
Not he was promoted from principle to chief of control
Absolutely.Edward Platt went from supervising a future Star Fleet Admiral to being the head of CONTROL, saving the world with Agents 86 and 99! 🤔🤷♂️🤘
Principal.
Sorry teacher, I’ll write “principal” 20 times on looseleaf and I won’t blame Siri for misspelling it!. I thank you too. I haven’t seen this in a while and forgot about it.
Shatner is wearing a hairpiece even here. Reportedly he started losing his hair in his early 20’s.
An occupational hazard when you're William Shatner. The secret to his invincibility, longevity, and wisdom is having testosterone literally oozing from his pores. His early balding is not so much a flaw as it is a sign of his superiority to the rest of the male population. Women want him , men want to be him.
@@hehoosmeltitdeltit Absolutely. I’m not knocking him for it, just making an observation. The whole hairpiece thing is part of his mythos at this point.
Sex edication in 1961? big lol. I never thought that they did this scene in 60s.
Education.
Better than kirk tbh
Those kids grew up and their generation went further and so on and so on until in 2021 the kids have no idea of they are a make or female. This despite their cells following specific directions and make exactly what they make... a male or female. The cells are not confused, if they are they make a hermaphrodite and even then a test shows if it was supposed to be a male or female. It is understandable if a hermaphrodite is confused, there is one reason regular built humans are confused, education in the home and school has become shite and it started going down hill in the 1960's.
I think it's important to note that William Shatner had nothing to do with the decline in the American education system (but maybe this movie did 🤔)...
PLEASE learn to proofread!!
Shatner's style of acting must have been rubbed off from Christopher Plummer, because Shatner was Plummer's understudy at the Stratford Festival.
As I recall from an interview some time back, Shatner stated his trademark "pause" while delivering lines came from trying to differentiate himself from other actors. Never thought about it so much until I saw him in non-acting roles where he can actually... talk... without... the dramatic pause (s).
William Shatner here is too young to be a teacher. Some of his students looks much older than him. (Great acting though)
Agreed, but what teen movie doesn’t have age-bending casting like that? (Shatner also appeared too young for his Starfleet command🫡 but you can chalk that up to the youth cosmetic formula 🖖 they forgot to give Bones and McCoy 😳). In any event, you can see the charisma that would carry him through the decades. 💯👍🇺🇦
@@hehoosmeltitdeltit Star trek was futuristic therefore it can cast a young admiral if that time has no old people or the latter are not the brightest or are they the most fitting
This movie was STUPID!!!
Was the movie stupid? You say this without qualification and three full exclamation points after stupid in all caps. That's like going to the Grand Canyon and saying it's dumb (with four exclamation points). We're interested in why you might feel that way -- you should, too.
Usually when people react the way you do, they haven't had an opportunity to understand and appreciate the full range of Bill Shanter's talents. But was the movie really stupid? In what sense? From the standpoint of similar pictures from 1961? Maybe it was the co-stars: some had gone on to their own success, but many had not. Was it Beau Bridges? (Maybe you were disappointing not getting Jeff).To be fair, you really need to see the movie before writing it off as stupid. I've been thing of posting more clips because you can never get enough Shatner, but the full movie is easily found.
Good Luck to you Bill Anthony.
Ray J- Did you really think the students organizing silence between competing high school crowds at a basketball game, on the spur of the moment, was realistic? And over what? Their right to talk about practical sexual matters in class? This was B-Rated Schlock at it's worst; Start, finish, and every heavy handed, hilariously "trying" to be earnest moment, in between.
I just needed to see this today. Always. Im 16 now and few days into high school Im tired. Felt like half the teachers aren't trying sometimes. Maybe the subject too. And I needed to see Will~
