This is my first time watching this movie, which captures the Victorian era, privileged boys of the higher class, their education in reform school because of their bullish personalities. I have to plow snow from our driveway, and once I turned on this movie, I'm still sitting. I encourage anyone to try this movie out today. It should return as a re-write for current year 2011, for American society still deals with bullish type children, and cleary shows, their personalities deserve one another, and shouldn't have these children mixed in with other non-bullish type children. I think this movie if re-written for today, it can benefit society, educating the world, what to do with prank, bullish type children Although, The Happy Years Movie is not entirely about a bull-head punky boy, and his school mates, it's also about how a wonderful teacher gives him and the other boys the proper direction they need in life to grow up into a responsible human being. Please see this movie. You won't be disappointed.
