Good Luck, Miss Wyckoff is a 1979 American drama film directed by Marvin J. Chomsky.[1] The screenplay by Polly Platt is based on the 1970 novel of the same title by William Inge.[2] Inge wrote two novels, both set in the fictional town of Freedom, Kansas. In Good Luck, Miss Wyckoff, high-school Latin teacher Evelyn Wyckoff loses her job because she has an affair with the school's black janitor. The novel's themes include spinsterhood, racism, sexual tension and public humiliation during the late 1950s.[3] The film version stars Anne Heywood,[4] John Lafayette, Donald Pleasence, Robert Vaughn,[5] and, in her final film, Carolyn Jones.[1][6]
