NickStricharchuk The Teacher: An 18-year-old high school grad finds himself being seduced by his (married) teacher. Her husband is seldom around, though, so she's bored and oh-so horny. It's not hard for teacher to seduce the boy, particularly because of access: she's friends with his clueless mother for some reason. Also: what 18-year-old needs convincing to bang his smoking hot teacher? It turns out that there's trouble for them everywhere but between the sheets. It's unclear as to whether or not you're supposed to feel sorry for the boy's parents--particularly because they're so stupid. This is the kind of movie you watch when you're half-way gone, or at the very least on the way there. It's fun for what it is: tacky, campy fun.

Uriah43 "Diane Marshall" (Angel Tompkins) is a 28 year-old teacher who wants a divorce from her 40 year-old husband. Sexually frustrated, she wants to have an affair with an 18 year-old student named "Sean Roberts" (Peter North) who has just graduated from high school and is off for the summer. Unfortunately, there is a mentally disturbed person named "Ralph Gordon" (Anthony James) who is completely obsessed with Diane and becomes insanely jealous of the attention Diane is lavishing on Sean. Adding to the tension is the fact that Ralph's brother, "Lou Gordon" (Rudy Herrera Jr.) was recently killed in an altercation when Ralph caught Sean and Lou spying on Diane. Ralph blames Sean for Lou's death even though it was clearly an accident. Anyway, rather than spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it, I will just say that this type of low-budget film was quite typical at drive-ins during the mid-70's. The plot was extremely basic, the dialogue was awful and the love scenes were laughable. Quite frankly, the only good thing about this movie was the presence of Angel Tompkins as she was simply divine. Everything else was quite forgettable. That said, I will rate it as only slightly below average even though it feels like a bit of a stretch to rate it even that high.

amosduncan_2000 I saw this at a drive-in in high school and it really taught me a lesson in the lower depths of blah banality. This is one of those movies that's like a porn film with the sex taken out. James had quite a career, but it's amazing he lowered himself to do this movie. Not that he was a star. I guess he just liked working. What else can I say? Angel Thompkins got to be in a couple of studio films. She started in soaps, apparently. Yawn. Jay North. Well, let's face it, "Dennis The Menace" wasn't exactly a great sit com in the first place. She mostly did garbage TV. Anyway, it would have been a better world if "The Teacher" had never been made, but I guess it doesn't make much difference in the long run.

no-mad This would have received 1 star but Angel Tompkins' bare breasts are worth at least one star by themselves. If there had been more bare breasts, I would have added more stars.The Teacher is a morality tale. Societies should beware of single women. They'll seduce our innocent sons and drive our already insane vets into homicidal rages.Though this movie was made in the 1970s, its temporal setting is the 1950s. Not only is Diane, the teacher, single, but she's divorced. One of her friends hints at how sexually frustrated Diane must be with her husband gone. Clearly there's nothing a woman can do to relieve her sexual frustrations without a man.Diane is so oblivious that her breasts are responsible for the deaths of three people. First one of her two infatuated students dies while looking at her bare breasts in the harbor. (I've spent a lot of time on and around the water and I've never seen a bare breast.) Then his friend is killed by the insane brother of his dead friend who happens to be a veteran. Then she kills the friend's insane veteran brother as he's raping her. (I guess that one she knows what's going on.)The sex scenes are bizarre. When Diane takes Sean's virginity, he has his pants on. The scene is the least tender sex scene I've seen. She isn't "making love" with him. She's raping him. It's written all over her face. He seems to enjoy it. (What 18 year old boy wouldn't?) When she asks him if he wants to do it again, he tells her, "Once is enough." (Okay, so one 18 year old boy wouldn't.)They leave their pants on when they swap bodily fluids on her boat. She and Ralph both have pants on when Ralph rapes her.I guess the moral should be, "Don't trust divorced women. They'll seduce our sons and teach them how to dry hump."If this movie was better known, it would challenge Ed Wood's "Plan 9" for the Golden Turkey.
