To Sir With Love (1967)
Based on a novel by Edward R. Braithwaite
Directed by James Clavell
Featuring: Sidney Poitier, Christian Roberts; Lulu
This timeless classic, with its mix of 1960s edginess and nods to race and class, is the school movie against which all other school movies are measured. A new teacher arrives at a totally undisciplined class at an East London school, and starts implementing his own brand of classroom discipline: forcing the pupils to treat each other with respect.
A Discussion with Edward R. Braithwaite follows.
Appropriate For Ages: 12+
