Saturday Night At The Movies: To Sir With Love

 

In the swinging 1960's of London, "To Sir With Love"  tells the story of an out of work engineer
who becomes a teacher to an unruly bunch of teen-agers in the city's rough East End district.
  
Acting legend Sidney Poitier gives a remarkable performance as "Sir"  Mark Thackery, 
 a kind and sensitive man who teaches self-respect and responsibility to his students.

The film soundtrack includes the title song sung by British pop star, Lulu, who 
 also plays one of the students.  "To Sir with Love" peaked at the top of the
Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States for five weeks in the fall of 1967
and became the best-selling single in America that year.
