Engineer Mark Thackeray arrives to teach a totally undisciplined class at an East End school. Still hoping for a good engineering job, he's hopeful that he won't be there long. He starts implementing his own brand of classroom discipline: forcing the pupils to treat each other with respect. Inevitably he begins getting involved in the students' personal lives, and must avoid the advances of an amorous student while winning over the class tough. What will he decide when the engineering job comes through?

To Sir, with Love (1967) [ReUp]

Sydney Poitier (Lilies of the Field, Shoot to Kill, Sneakers) delivers an outstanding performance as Mark Thackaray, an out of work engineer who takes up teaching to pay the bills. He is teaching the rough-hewn and poor kids of London's East End, in a school that is considered a dead end for both students and teachers. Most of the kids are considered incorrigible to the teachers. Certainly things do not begin well, as Thackaray has to control himself in the face of incessant baiting by the students. It is only when he decides to throw away the textbooks that he starts building trust and making inroads with his unruly students. He instead starts trying to teach them how to be adults, which they will be in a short time, by teaching first courtesy and manners, and onward to adult topics such as marriage and survival skills like making a salad. By treating the kids as adults and giving respect, he begins to get it back in turn, along with at least one schoolgirl crush. "Sir," as he comes to be known, becomes popular both in the school and in the community; where the parents appreciate that he alone has began reaching their kids.

The film touches on topics that are still meaningful today, such as racism, though the discrimination in England was a far cry from what the southern United States experienced at the time. Perhaps that keeps it more meaningful now as racism in the US is more covert and taken underground at this point in history. Primarily though the issues these students (predominantly white, unlike most American offerings in the genre) face are financial, on how to move up from poverty, and the coming of age problems all youth face. These are faced honestly and with a fair degree or realism.
DVD Verdict
To Sir, with Love (1967) [ReUp]

The movie is based on E.R. Braithwaite’s semi-autobiographical 1959 novel of the same name. James Clavell adapted it for the screen and directed the movie. Clavell was known at the time for screenplays such as 1963’s The Great Escape. In later years he would become better known as a novelist for such books as Shogun and Taipan.

No review of this film would be complete without mentioning the best-selling, number one hit song To Sir, with Love. It is sung by Lulu, who has a role in the film as one of the students. In fact, parts of the song are heard multiple times in the film and in one of them Lulu is singing on screen. Years later U2 would do an affectionate cover version of it during their concerts. Most recently, the Glee students sang it to their teacher in the first season finale. I have watched this film four or five times since originally discovering it and damned if the final scene with that song hasn’t gotten me every time. I’ve embedded the song at the bottom of this post. It has stills from the film, but there is no context to them, so they should not spoil anything for those who have not seen the movie.

The film will probably come across a little dated for the sixties music and clothing. That’s not that big a deal, though, at least for me. Because it’s the 1960’s it doesn’t try to pretend that racial issues of a black man teaching mostly white students do not exist. This is a good thing. Ignoring it would have made it unrealistic. It doesn’t make it the central point of the movie, either. This is also a good thing. It’s first and foremost about a teacher connecting with his students.

By the way, there was a 1996 made for TV movie that brought back Poitier as the character of Mark Thackeray. It was directed by Peter Bogdonovich. It tried to recapture the magic of the first film and it just didn’t do it. It’s not horrible, but it’s a big step down from the original.

Even if you’ve seen your share of inspirational teacher movies, you really owe it to yourself to see To Sir, with Love. Sidney Poitier really captures a man trying to balance doing the right thing, and doing what’s best for him. He comes to care for his students and he wants what’s best for them, too. He tries his utmost to ensure that he does what he can for them. The result is a portrait of a truly great human being. To go back to quoting the song, Poitier's performance lets you give your heart to Sir, with love. I give this film my highest recommendation.
