To Sir, With Love

Average rating: Stars

An unforgettable icon from the sixties!

This film under the elapse of time of almost forty years dated, to be honest. The film reflects the hard times of the convulsed United Kingdom the febrile anguish of the young people, somehow this picture had in Blackboard Jungle an acclaimed pioneer that shadowed , considering that Blackboard was filmed in the middle fifties.
Obviously there is a touching performance of Sidney Potier, the great actor who opened the gate for future actors such Freeman, Jackson, Washington, Fishburne, Smith and Snipes.
In the other hand the famous soundtrack sung by Lulu was a true hit in those ages and contributed in high degree to impulse this picture.
An old fashioned picture that keeps captivating kind hearts,generating tears in the audience.

To Sir, With Love - Sidney Poitier, Judy Geeson

Poitier's Best

Many of the other reviews capture the essence of this film. Needless to say, there is very little to add. But rest assured, you'd be hard pressed to see Poitier do any role better than he did as Mark Thackery. As a plus, where else will you be able to see Wayne Fontana and The Mindbenders in action, unless you happy to see old footage of Ready-Steady-Go. And if you look closely, you'll see Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt's "odd" English neighbor in her youth, the adorable Judy Gleason.

Sidney Poitier, Judy Geeson - To Sir, With Love

Small film, big soul

To Sir With Love was part of a 1967 trifecta for Sidney Poitier including In the Heat of the Night and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. This was the small film that could.

Based on a book by ER Braithewaite on his experience as a teacher in inner city London. This is a film that has soul.

Sidney is a new teacher who is assigned to an inner city school. Of course the kids try to take advantage to the "new meat" but they go one step far. But instead of going off the deep end, he decides to make a difference in their lives.

What happens is a beautiful transformation. This is a film that shows that if someone wants to change and are given a the chance, they can.

All of these films are as timely now as in 1967. This is definitely a must see for all teenagers.
