A dedicated schoolteacher and an understanding principal in help a rebellious student overcome his circumstances and his pride in order to fulfill his potential., A rarity from 1953 – a major studio film with an all-black cast. Tragedy strikes when an idealistic teacher (Dorothy Dandridge) reaches out to a troubled student., Bright Road was a real rarity in 1953: a major-studio production with an all-black cast. Based on an award-winning short story by Mary Elizabeth Vroman, the film is largely set at a rural black school in an unspecified Southern community. Idealistic new fourth-grade teacher Jane Richards (Dorothy Dandridge) makes it her mission in life to “reach” troublesome failing student C. T. Young (Philip Hepburn). Just when Jane and the boy are making progress, tragedy strikes, plunging C. T. into the depths of depression and defeatism. But with the help of the school’s compassionate principal (Harry Belafonte), Jane is able to get C. T. back on the right track–and as a bonus, the boy becomes an unexpected hero in a moment of crisis. Handled in a leisurely, understated fashion, Bright Road represents perhaps the best directorial effort of Gerald Mayer, MGM’s resident “keeper of the ‘B’s” in the 1950s. Best scene: C. T.’s euphoric reaction upon earning a passing grade for the first time in his life.
