Did You Hear What I Said? (1966)

★★★★ · Butch Carter. COME ON DOWN! · Spuzz · 2019-12-31

Part newspaper recruitment film, but mostly (and strangely) a social commentary about what makes a pretty smart kid drop out. An up and coming reporter decides to do a story on drop outs, and recruits a kid who has done just that, through interviews with school officials, the church (!!) and students (the reporter takes the kid to a rehearsal of his would-have-been high school graduation), the reporter gradually puts, or attempts to, a story together. Interesting film, though it really does seem confused over what the film is about.
