Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
Novelist James Clavell wrote, produced and directed this 1967 British film (based on the novel by E. R. Braithwaite) about a rookie teacher who throws out stock lesson plans and really takes command of his unruly, adolescent students in a London school. Sidney Poitier is very good as a man struggling with the extent of his commitment to the job, and even more as a teacher whose commitment is to proffering life lessons instead of just academic ones. The spirit of this movie can also be found in more recent films such as Dangerous Minds and Mr. Holland's Opus, but none are as moving as this. Besides, the others don't have a title song performed by Lulu, who also stars. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely DVD transfer, lovely film, 26 Jun 2004

By	A. Butterfield (UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I always liked this film a lot and decided I had to have it on DVD. I hadn't seen it for years, but it was just as good as I remembered it, and like all great sentimental films, it brings a tear to the eye at the end.
The cast is perfect. Poitier is stiff and awkward as the only black teacher in London's roughest school (interesting how he spends most of his time while teaching slapping something suspiciously like a truncheon against the palm of his hand). Judy Geeson is irresistible as Pamela, and Lulu remarkably common! But what a great voice, and what a great song To Sir With Love still is.
There's lots of drama, tension, stuff to get you laughing and crying. It's a very well-formed film, structurally; very tight. As you'd expect from Clavell.
What I hadn't fully remembered is how beautifully shot it is. Every scene is a work of art.
The DVD transfer does full justice to this and preserves all the warmth and beauty of 1960s Technicolor. A treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic film, 29 May 2007

By	Mr. Gary Dixon (Nottingham UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I honestly believe that this film should be screened at schools as part of an O level, (or whatever the equivalent is now) English or Social studies course. I have seen this at least 25 times and it still brings a tear to the eye and gives food for thought about how we as a society treat others. It covers life, the coming of age, prejudice and death,and is so creatively transferred onto the big screen. Sidney Poitier has made many brilliant performances, but this, although one of his earliest must rank as one of his best. The title song by Lulu is fantastic, (just a shame she did a shortenned version on her latest album, the original was much better).
All in all, a brilliant film to sit in by the fire on a cold rainy night, with a bottle of wine and dream how life could be here, if we all stood by the same values as Sidney Poitiers character.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Feel Good from the 1960s, 11 April 2006

By	Annette (Chorley, Lancs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This is Poitier at his moody best in a film so evocative of the era only a film made at the time could have. I saw this at the cinema when it first came out and its still one of my favourites. Anyone who grew up in the 1960s should definitely watch it. Judy Geeson and Lulu play great roles and the end of school dance and the title song sung by Lulu in the closing scenes is a real tear-jerker. Enjoy it for what it is - a peice of nostalgia.
