Right same with the guys robbing that woman. Something happens to me, I'm calling the police even if 20 others have called. I'm personally speaking to a cop about what happened.
@@marquitashiver6141 Ya, then you have to hope the cops aren't corrupt. So much corruption in this world today, and so many 'good' people afraid to "makes waves".
I know exactly how this woman felt. Painful to watch with Patty's great acting skills. Feeling dirty, blaming yourself, nightmares, trust issues then cops and Dr's put you through it again. As an adult I worked in behavioral health with juvenile sex offenders. Hoping I could reduce/stop future victims from the lifetime of damage it creates. Always report abuse, endure the dr exam and cops questions. You will make a paper trail, a history of crimes that will eventually put the abuser behind bars. They don't stop on their own. They become more violent. They don't care about gender, race or age. Be safe.
This movie made me so angry at the system they way the emergency bell went ignored and Dr. keys cover up and trivialised the whole matter. Very hard to watch.
Everybody is a Citizen with RIGHTS&OBLIGATIONS. If your rights and privacy are violated, STRAIGHT TO THE Police. No in between, no cover up, use the law to get your rights. Patty Duke gives a really great performance here.
Oh how this pissed me off! "A little roughed up?" ""Take her to see his personal physician?" This is absolutely unreal! That black woman with the short hair made me so angry! What kind of woman doesn't take a rape victim to the hospital and call the police?
I was the victim of a brutal assault by a school resource officer. At the ER the police were contacted but they failed to respond. They protect their own officers rather than the victim.
I've recently come across patty duke movies on here since i'm stuck at home from a broken ankle 🤕😭 so it's one good thing to have happened from it lol I watch a lot of 90's lifetime movies while I work on my art designs and love these movies, they don't make them like it anymore, alot of them were based on true stories but done in a respectful way, so happy I've come across patty duke movies, she was so amazing, I'm so sad she passed away 😢
Since u commented a year ago, ur ankle is probably healed. I broke mine too, sometime back, just walking in the Dollar store! Know what u mean about Patty Duke. She was such a talented woman!! Her movies r great. Keep up the art work!
It's terrible the way higher ups handle their employees. He only cared about moving up in his career. I would have gone to the E.R. and had the police handle it. Never trust "others" to handle things for you...
Aside from the bad situation she went through i want to say she was a great teacher she made the class fun and inspired all those kids to take interest and show their potential. I wish there were more teachers like her. Great movie with Patty Duke as all are.❤
G'day from Australia 🇦🇺, Im a brand new subscriber, I really enjoyed watching the chat yes I'm beyond sad for Eugenia 😪. What is the deal with the Mum???? Wow😲 29 years old and she can not go away with out helicopter mother around. Sending hugs to all from Australia 🇦🇺 cheers 🍻
Pressuring - even suggesting to her that they handle it "internally" instead of going to the police should be criminal by itself!!! And look how the victims have to hide what happened to them - knowing publicity , and the blame that will come their way. And the retribution. This movie is decades old; but things haven't changed (improved) all that much, if any!!! And it's not just in schools.
Secretary acts like an frantic idiot at the false alarm and then acts calmly when it’s real😳 She shouldn’t be in the school system That principal needs to be fired!
It's crazy how they handled SA in those days! And though they have made a lot of advancement now there is still a lot of SA that goes unreported or is handled incorrectly, people trying to protect certain predators... It's insane!
always a good movie if patty duke is in it. american school teachers in real life must be very brave. imagine a female teacher in a class iwth adult looking male / female students. esp these days
I couldn't believe it when I heard so many of them say that! 😢 I would say this was different times back then but sadly this does still happen, people's mindset need to change and there needs to be more empathy and compassion
Did HIPAA not exist? Because the doctor can’t tell the principal about her medical injuries. This is so unrealistic and yes, he does have to report it to the police because it’s the law.
PLOT-- Sarah McDavid, an idealistic young teacher, takes a job in a rough high school where she is eventually attacked and raped in her classroom after school hours and decides to buck the school system in an attempt to make schools safer for students and teachers alike, against the advice of the school's principal, Dr. Keys, who tries to gloss over the hazardous conditions and the incident itself to avoid bad publicity and decreased enrollment.
Thank you for getting this out.... I was 17😢 My Dad was stationed in Germany, Army. It was a GI.... Things like this wasn't talked about back then... 🙏 for all victims and survivors
I like how the script has the teacher doing an authentic self disclosure talking about her lifestyle. Self disclosure can help change the life course of a young person.❤️🙏
I feel it also helps students to realize that teachers are human just like everyone and helps the student/teacher relationship. That always makes it easier for a student to learn better from that teacher. I had a couple teachers like this growing up and they were always my favorites!
LOL ! Well someone had to act the part. He was known in Hollywood, to be an actor whom was “always working”! He loved his job and had many children to support as well.
If SLOW patient considerate passive understanding unknowledgeable was a person. 1. She know what was going on in the school, should have never stayed in the class alone ESPECIALLY with the door unlocked. 2. Didn’t call the police after the crime and didn’t go to a hospital/police.
she played a wonderful role in her movies I love to watch her I'm glad she did what she I start back. I start Back watching my old. LMN and Lifetime movie
This time of two hour shows was a half hour every two just for commercials. Unreal. It is still 90 minute movies. Just skip commercials or not. Some are cool to see and remember.
I’ve remembered the rape scene ever since I saw this on t.v. When I was about 8 or 9. I was disturbed to no end. Watching this now, I’m shocked that Ned Beatty wasn’t a little more compassionate toward Patty Duke, especially considering his own rape in Deliverance. I guess this was the first time I ever saw Eric Stoltz and Ally Sheedy, four or five years later I would have been crushing on Ally in St. Elmo’s Fire.
39:36 i would hate to say it but I think the individual who is responsible for the assault was the male student who just approached her to give her something like a present or something. But we will have to continue to watch.😐
That was a complete waste of an hour and two thirds! It could have been powerful and inspiring, but it wasn't because it had twenty minutes of plot, at best. No disrespect to the actors, they did what could with what they had. But the script needed a lot work.
Character development. Showing you who Sarah is and who Dr. Keys is. In the first six minutes I picked up that she is naive and passive. Green to the bureaucracy and he is grooming her as his puppet. Notice how he complimented her on the color she was wearing and then already called in a favor for hiring her as a teacher with less experience by telling her to not join the other teachers who don’t support his programs?
The movie was good but it didn't quite make sense to me. In todays movie that is associated with this kind violence, there is usually a capture and trail. That didn't happen in this film. But it still good because the teacher stood up for herself with the school board.😊
Stupid movie because she never called the police. At had to be a movie. Love Patty Duke but not the movie. Did she not even see the manipulation around her? A wast of my time
Don't be ignorant. Actors and Actresses play different roles. Concentrate on what you are watching at the moment and judge the actor based on that role.
Rape is a criminal act, the police should have been notified.
Right same with the guys robbing that woman. Something happens to me, I'm calling the police even if 20 others have called. I'm personally speaking to a cop about what happened.
That principal making me angry acting like something happened to him and his a victim 1:01:37

Patty Duke was a legendary performer. She did receive much honor and she still does receive it.
I am addicted to her movies. She was a great actor.

@Heide Velarde I am so sorry you had such a horrible experience.
@@stacydetwiler1475 Thank you for your concern.
I'm sry for your pain😭So was I, multiple times and yes, they charge the victim for defending themselves and side with the RAPIST's 😡
Heide, I am so saddened to hear what happened to you.💔
@@ericaates360 Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to express that.
Patty Duke was such an underrated actress!
I watch patty duke everynight. She has so much talent.I think the world of you patty.
Where?
SHE WAS NEVER REALLY HONNORED FOR HER GREAT ACTTING.
I agree except for the special award for her role as Helen Keller .
1 Academy Award, 2 Golden Globe & 3 Primetime Emmy Awards. Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Why didn't her fiance take her to the hospital and file a police report immediately? He's just as bad as Mr. Keys and all the rest.

Yes! The principal wanted her to feel bad for speaking up and speaking truth. The sheer manipulations tactics of the principal was appalling!
Aside from the bad situation she went through i want to say she was a great teacher she made the class fun and inspired all those kids to take interest and show their potential. I wish there were more teachers like her. Great movie with Patty Duke as all are.❤
Hi, I am so glad I came across, Patty Duke's movies. It is Phenomenal.
I love Patty Duke movies she really gets her point across she doesn’t take any steps and she doesn’t take no for an answer you go girl
Dumb ending
When patty duke is in a movie you know it will be good. She was brilliant gone too soon . 😢
I just love Patty Duke on a mission. Feisty, non stoppable like a bulldozer.

Just finished watching 'Clemency' Wow how time has flown.
Secretary acts like an frantic idiot at the false alarm and then acts calmly when it’s real😳
She shouldn’t be in the school system
That principal needs to be fired!
First time watching this. Never seen this movie before and I'm a huge Patty Duke fan. Such a good actress.
🤦🏼♀️🥺😤...I feel furious, and so sad people were so flippant about this..
The school should be sued
I got so angry watching this! But it was a great story in that she came forward!! I wish the movie had been longer!
*She should have sued the High School!*

I was a victim of having a nasty selfish brother!

Stranger danger
Poor woman she was blamed for this and not helped by anyone bloody awful
"She was roughed up a little" 😳😳

Ally Sheedy (2nd tv movie) & Eric Stoltz (3rd tv movie) are in this movie too.
Airdate May 19th, 1981. I mean today's daily school shootings shows things have gotten much worse.

I can’t understand why she didn’t lock her class room,I am glad today there is more safety measures at schools.😮
If free schoolbooks are his only worry......... Any civilized education system has free school books!
Did anyone notice old Rose from Titanic crying over her broken records around 15 minutes in?
Yes didn't know it was her.
Thank you for getting this out....

Still got the bruises amd her fiance is telling her shes hot to try move on and get over it 😡
Yeah get ova it its not s big deal
That principal dared get political with a trauma victim.
Ned Beatty is so corrupt and self serving! Now I don't feel sorry for him in deliverance lol
Squeal 😉
LOL ! Well someone had to act the part. He was known in Hollywood, to be an actor whom was “always working”! He loved his job and had many children to support as well.
😂😂
It's a sad story but true
Patty Duke is my fav actress
If SLOW patient considerate passive understanding unknowledgeable was a person. 1. She know what was going on in the school, should have never stayed in the class alone ESPECIALLY with the door unlocked. 2. Didn’t call the police after the crime and didn’t go to a hospital/police.
good movie, the boyfriend telling her to go back to school, id say no way, id never be a teacher again if that have happened to me.
Don’t let the rapist win! It’s a terrible thing to endure: don’t let an attacker take away your life as well. I’m speaking from experience.
Nothing has really changed. Most blame the victim. So sad we live in a society like this.
I put wagner in control now his foot is bothering him
I saw this years ago when I was a kid. The real title is Up The Down Staircase
Her fiance wants her to go out to dinner the night after she's been raped and one eye is swollen shut?
What were those script writers thinking?
Love Patty Duke
she played a wonderful role in her movies I love to watch her I'm glad she did what she I start back. I start Back watching my old. LMN and Lifetime movie
Is that the Dr from Star Trek Voyager??? And Eric Stolz and Ally Sheedy?? So many talented people in this!!
This time of two hour shows was a half hour every two just for commercials. Unreal. It is still 90 minute movies. Just skip commercials or not. Some are cool to see and remember.

Patty was great in this movie as always! Happy she reported the true crime to the police and stood up for her own rights!!
Darn it! I was surprised when the movie ended. There could have been another hour 🙂
Ally Sheedy was so pretty.
I was thinking the same thing. Like she looked like a model here but in her later roles they made her so plain.
I start Back Watching my LMN and Lifetime movie
Fantastic film yet again ..............
