Who Shot Patakango? (1990)
Director: Robert Brooks
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
This slice of teen nostalgia (featuring an early appearance by Sandra Bullock) captures the life and times of a Brooklyn high school in 1957, during the moment of transition when a wave of migrant blacks arrived from the South and populated what had till then been a predominantly white down-home territory. Matters are enlivened somewhat by a plethora of vintage hits.Author: TJ
