Michael Schultz directed this deeply felt recollection of adolescent life on Chicago's near North Side in 1964. Like American Graffiti Cooley High deals with girl, school, and police troubles as a group of high school seniors prepare for post-high-school life. The chums are Glynn Turman as Preacher, who loves to read poetry and history and wants to become a Hollywood screenwriter but who has the worst grades in the school; and Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs as Cochise, the high-school basketball star and suave lady killer. Preacher has to contend with love problems in the form of Brenda (Cynthia Davis), school problems with emphatic teacher Mr. Mason (Garrett Morris), and law problems with street toughs Stone (Sherman Smith) and Robert (Norman Gibson). ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
