An outstanding performance by Sidney Poitier in this 1966 film. Sidney stars as Mark Thackeray. An engineering job market hasn't panned out for him, and he somewhat reluctantly takes a teaching position in a working-class London high school. His students are out of control and must be tamed. Ultimately, we can smile wondering who learned the most - the students or the teacher.
The theme song, To Sir With Love, is performed by LuLu, who also portrays one of the students.
I think all families with children ages 10 and up would benefit by setting aside some time to share this movie.
