      He was particularly brilliant in this scene. His acting during the song is genius, and he never says a word. When he hears their harmonies and his demeanor changes from irritated & disgusted to surprised and impressed...a lot of actors would oversell that switch, but he does it perfectly. And he keeps it on that same level as walks down the line, then makes a perfect transition back to Joe Clark and marches them to the chorus room. Small things like that are what separates legends like Morgan Freeman from other great actors. There are a lot of great actors, but only one like Morgan Freeman

She said that when she talked to him about his character in the movie that the part about getting slammed into the piano was actually his idea to do, and they chose to include it in the script.

    I get goosebumps everytime I hear 'By the side we'll stand' and Mr Clark turns his head to the boys. One of the best movies of all time.

    Love when Mr. Clark blasts through bathroom door with Sam’s snatched up... my, my, my, aren’t you my little song birds from the cafeteria?🤣 Classic movie from my era.

      Sams about needed a stunt double for all the times Mr. Clark shoved him around 😂🤣

    In my honest opinion the best movie to come out from 1989 besides Batman. Morgan Freeman should have gotten a lot of academy awards for this movie. Timeless classic
