Making Movies (Sorkin)
The pared down school budget just won't accommodate Miss Harris' course in the great silent movie comedies.
The students, however, are fascinated by the subject, and decide to make a movie on their own.
Then the self-appointed head of the economy committee starts looking for a victim, and Miss Harris and these clever and creative kids find themselves in a madcap scramble worthy of Max Sennett or Chaplin himself!
