they show this movie to u in school when i be 7 or 8 year old and it be just so sad . have grow up in a rough part of chicago i connect with the setting and character in the film right away and this film have stay with me for the last 38 year . the film pull you back and forth between joy and sorrow . between anger and sympathy . it will pull at you heart only to be devastate at the climax of the story . even the villain in the film seem to realize what they have do and they suddenly go from be character to hate to just people play their role in the urban jungle . there be some very valuable lesson to be learn from this film for people of all age and i would recommend it to anyone .
