TO SIR, WITH LOVE

In the organizer's words:

TO SIR, WITH LOVE

UK, 1967, 105 min., OmU, digital

Director: James Clavell
Cast: Sidney Poitier, Judy Geeson, Christian Roberts

Mark Thackeray can't find a job after being discharged from the Royal Air Force, so he resorts to plan B and becomes a teacher in London's notorious East End. While Thackeray gets into the ring with the unstable kids, he has to put up with racism in the staff room. Peppered with lots of beat music, this "rookie" film leaves you with a cozy feeling that the world isn't so wrong after all.

Entertainment Weekly ranks "To Sir, With Love" as the 25th best high school movie. The film is based on the partly autobiographical novel by E.R. Braithwaite and grossed 42 million US dollars. The beat singer Lulu Kennedy-Cairns can be seen as a student and "The Mindbenders" as a band at the prom. Lulu's theme song was number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the USA for five weeks in 1967 and the soundtrack received a Grammy nomination.
