'''''To Sir, with Love''''' is a 1967 British [[drama film]] that deals with social and racial issues in a [[secondary school]] in the [[East End of London]]. It stars [[Sidney Poitier]] and features [[Christian Roberts (actor)|Christian Roberts]], [[Judy Geeson]], [[Suzy Kendall]], [[Patricia Routledge]] and singer [[Lulu (singer)|Lulu]] making her film debut.<ref name="BFIsearch">{{Cite web |title=To Sir, with Love |url=https://collections-search.bfi.org.uk/web/Details/ChoiceFilmWorks/150043135 |access-date=19 August 2024 |website=British Film Institute Collections Search}}</ref> [[James Clavell]] directed from his own screenplay, which was based on [[E. R. Braithwaite]]'s 1959 [[autobiographical novel]] [[To Sir, With Love (novel)|of the same title]].

The film's title song "[[To Sir with Love (song)|To Sir with Love]]", sung by Lulu, peaked at the top of the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] chart for five weeks in the autumn of 1967 and ultimately was the best-selling single in the US that year; meanwhile, Poitier, playing a charismatic schoolteacher to troubled youth, was the first black actor to win a [[Golden Globe Award]]. The film ranked number 27 on ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]''{{'}}s list of the 50 Best High School Movies.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=<!--Not stated--> |date=28 August 2015 |title=50 Best High School Movies |url=https://ew.com/gallery/50-best-high-school-movies-0/?slide=383548#383548 |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]}}</ref>

The film premiered and became a hit one month before another film about troubled schools, ''[[Up the Down Staircase (film)|Up the Down Staircase]]'', appeared. A made-for-television sequel, ''[[To Sir, with Love II]]'', was released in 1996, with Poitier reprising his starring role.

== Plot ==
Mark Thackeray, an immigrant to Britain from [[British Guiana]], has been unable to obtain an engineering position despite an 18-month job search. He accepts a teaching post for Class 12 at North Quay Secondary School in the [[East End of London]], as an interim position, despite having no teaching experience.

The pupils there have been rejected from other schools, and Thackeray is a replacement for a teacher called Mr Hackman who left the school abruptly on the same day Thackeray arrived. According to another teacher, Mr Weston, Hackman left because of the unruly behaviour of the pupils in his class. This class being the one that Thackery would shortly be the teacher of. The pupils in Mr Thackeray's inherited class, led by Bert Denham and Pamela Dare, behave badly: their antics range from vandalism to distasteful pranks. Thackeray retains a calm demeanour through many disruptive classes but eventually loses his temper after discovering something being burned in the classroom stove, which turns out to be a girl's [[sanitary towel]]. He orders the boys out of the classroom, then reprimands all the girls, either for being responsible or passively observing, for what he says is their "slutty behaviour". Thackeray is angry with himself for allowing his pupils to incense him. Changing his approach, he informs the class that they will no longer study from textbooks. Until the end of term, he will treat them as adults and expects them to behave as such. He declares that they will address him as "Sir" or "Mr. Thackeray"; the girls will be addressed as "Miss" and boys by their surnames. They are also allowed to discuss any issue they wish. He gradually wins over the class, except for Denham who continually baits him.

Thackeray arranges a class trip to the [[Victoria and Albert Museum]] and the [[Natural History Museum, London|Natural History Museum]] in [[South Kensington]] which goes well. He later loses some support after defusing a potentially violent situation between his student Potter and the gym teacher, Mr. Bell. He demands that Potter apologise to Bell, even if he believes the latter was wrong. The group later refuses to invite Thackeray to the class dance. When mixed-race student Seales' white English mother dies, the class takes a collection for a wreath but refuses to accept Thackeray's donation. The students decline to deliver the wreath in person to Seales' house, fearing neighbourhood gossip for visiting a "coloured" person's house.

The headmaster tells Thackeray that the "adult approach" has failed, and future outings are cancelled. Thackeray is to teach the boys' gym classes until the headmaster can find a new permanent gym teacher. Meanwhile, Thackeray receives an engineering job offer in the post.

Pamela's mother asks for Thackeray to talk to her daughter about her behaviour at home. However, this annoys Pamela, whom Thackeray believes is infatuated with him. During a gym class, Denham challenges Thackeray to a boxing match. Thackeray initially declines but then reluctantly agrees. Denham delivers harmless blows to Thackeray's face, but the bout comes to an abrupt end after Thackeray's lone punch is to Denham's [[solar plexus]], which doubles Denham over in pain. Thackeray attends to Denham and then exits the gym unhurt, to the amazement of the class. Thackeray compliments Denham's ability and suggests he teach boxing to the younger pupils next year. Denham, impressed, expresses his admiration for Thackeray to his classmates. Thackeray regains their respect and is invited to the class dance. Later, while attending the funeral of Seales' mother, Thackeray is touched to find that his lectures on personal choice and responsibility have had an effect, and the entire class has attended.

At the dance, Pamela persuades Thackeray to be her partner for the "Ladies Choice" dance. Afterward, the class presents to Thackeray "a little present to remember us by." Too moved to speak, Thackeray retires to his classroom.

A rowdy couple enters the classroom. They mock Thackeray's gift, a silver [[tankard]] and card inscribed "To Sir, with Love" signed by the departing class, and goad Thackeray that they will be in his class next year. After they leave, Thackeray stands and rips up the engineering job offer, reconciled to the work he has ahead of him. He then takes a flower from the vase on his desk, places it in his lapel, and leaves.

==Production==
Initially, Columbia was reluctant to hire Sidney Poitier or James Clavell, despite the interest which both expressed toward doing the film. (Clavell, aptly enough, had published ''[[The Children's Story]]'' just a few years prior.) Poitier and Clavell agreed to make the movie for small fees, provided Poitier got 10% of the gross and Clavell got 30% of the profits. "When we were ready to shoot, Columbia wanted either a rape or a big fight put in," said [[Martin Baum (agent)|Martin Baum]], Poitier's agent. "We held out, saying this was a gentle story, and we won."<ref name="los" />

The film was shot in [[Wapping]] (including the [[Wapping railway station|railway station]]) and [[Shadwell]] in the [[East End of London]], in the [[Victoria and Albert Museum]] and at [[Pinewood Studios]].<ref name=Locate/> The headmaster of the school where author Braithwaite taught, St George-in-the-East Central School (now the Mulberry House apartments)<ref>{{Cite web |title=St George-in-the-East Church {{!}} Board Schools {{!}} Cable Street |url=http://www.stgitehistory.org.uk/media/schools.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231209191925/http://www.stgitehistory.org.uk/media/schools.html |archive-date=2023-12-09 |access-date=2024-04-07 |website=stgitehistory.org.uk |quote=After the Second World War it became a secondary modern school, St George-in-the-East Central School... and has now been converted into 34 luxury apartments as 'Mulberry House'.}}</ref> adjacent to the north side of [[St George in the East]] church in Wapping, would not let the production film at that school.<ref name="Locate">{{Cite web |title=To Sir, With Love {{!}} 1967 |url=https://movie-locations.com/movies/t/To-Sir-With-Love.php |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231004204026/https://movie-locations.com/movies/t/To-Sir-With-Love.php |archive-date=2023-10-04 |access-date=2024-04-07 |website=movie-locations.com}}</ref> The spire of the church is visible in the film, when Sir walks up Reardon Street, ''en route'' to the funeral for the mother of his student.<ref name=Locate/>

==Reception==
''[[The Monthly Film Bulletin]]'' wrote: "There is one shot in ''To Sir, With Love'' that shows Sidney Poitier staring into the sun through the window of his empty classroom with his arms spread out along the sill; in silhouette he looks for a second like Christ on the cross. The effect is almost certainly unintentional, but everything about James Clavell's sententious script&nbsp;... suggests that he sees his hero as a Saviour figure, nobly sacrificing his own chance of middle-class respectability in order to redeem younger unfortunates from their hereditary taint of bad grammar and colourful language. Buttoned inside his immaculate white collars, Thackeray bravely shoulders the black man's burden, emitting a sanctimonious wince when confronted with any sign of moral weakness in others&nbsp;.... His comportment is infuriating, but no more so than the way in which the other characters respond to it. For if the film pretends to social realism by its frequent allusions to race prejudice, broken homes, ill-equipped classrooms and so on, its solutions have all the facile optimism of the most utopian folksongs. Thackeray's students all have hearts of gold, all aspire to self-improvement, all want "Sir" to approve of them. With scarcely a pimple or a genuine adolescent problem between them (there are no wallflowers at this school dance) they are all swept along to respectability on a great tidal wave of saccharine sentiment. Even the staff are moved by Thackeray's charismatic spell to a new sense of brotherhood. &nbsp;... Nonetheless, within the limits imposed by the pious script, unimaginative photography and wooden direction, Christian Roberts and Lulu provide two very engaging performances."<ref>{{Cite journal |date=1 January 1967 |title=To Sir, with Love |url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/1305828912 |journal=[[The Monthly Film Bulletin]] |volume=34 |issue=396 |page=154 |id={{ProQuest|1305828912}} }}</ref>

Upon its U.S. release, [[Bosley Crowther]] began his review by contrasting the film with Poitier's role and performance in the 1955 film ''[[Blackboard Jungle]]''; unlike that earlier film, Crowther says "a nice air of gentility suffuses this pretty color film, and Mr. Poitier gives a quaint example of being proper and turning the other cheek. Although he controls himself with difficulty in some of his confrontations with his class, and even flares up on one occasion, he never acts like a boor, the way one of his fellow teachers (played by [[Geoffrey Bayldon]]) does. Except for a few barbed comments by the latter, there is little intrusion of or discussion about the issue of race: It is as discreetly played down as are many other probable tensions in this school. ''To Sir, with Love'' comes off as a cozy, good-humored and unbelievable little tale."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Crowther |first=Bosley |author-link=Bosley Crowther |date=15 June 1967 |title=Poitier Meets the Cockneys: He Plays Teacher Who Wins Pupils Over |url=https://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9E06E3DF103AE63ABC4D52DFB066838C679EDE |access-date=2013-12-19 |work=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref>

''[[Halliwell's Film and Video Guide]]'' describes it as "sentimental non-realism" and quotes a ''[[Monthly Film Bulletin]]'' review (possibly contemporary with its British release), which claims that "the sententious script sounds as if it has been written by a zealous Sunday school teacher after a particularly exhilarating boycott of South African oranges".<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EMg3-qGrT_EC&q=%22the+sententious+script+sounds+as+if+it+has+been+written%22 |title=Halliwell's Film and Video Guide 2000 |publisher=HarperCollins |year=1999 |isbn=0-00-653165-2 |editor-last=Walker |editor-first=John |location=London |page=845}}</ref>

The ''[[Time Out Film Guide]]'' says that it "bears no resemblance to school life as we know it" and the "hoodlums' miraculous reformation a week before the end of term (thanks to teacher Poitier) is laughable".<ref>David Pirie review in, John Pym (ed), [https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&q=%22bears+no+resemblance+to+school+life+as+we+know+it%22 ''Time Out Film Guide 2009''], London: Ebury, 2008, p. 1098.</ref> Although agreeing with the claims about the film's sentimentality, and giving it a mediocre rating, the ''Virgin Film Guide'' asserts: "What makes [this] such an enjoyable film is the mythic nature of Poitier's character. He manages to come across as a real person, while simultaneously embodying everything there is to know about morality, respect and integrity."<ref>''The Seventh Virgin Film Guide'', London: Virgin Publishing, 1998, p. 729. Published by [[Cinebooks]] in the US. The "mediocre rating" claim is based on the authors giving the film three out of five stars.</ref>

The novel's author, E.R. Braithwaite, loathed the film, particularly because of its omission of the novel's interracial relationship, although it provided Braithwaite with some financial security from royalties. <ref name="Thomas1">{{Cite web |last=Thomas |first=Susie |date=2013 |title=E.R.

''To Sir, with Love'' holds an 89% "Fresh" rating on the [[Review aggregator|review aggregate]] website [[Rotten Tomatoes]] based on 28 reviews.<ref>{{Cite web |title=To Sir, with Love, Movie Reviews |url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/to_sir_with_love/ |access-date=9 January 2012 |publisher=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]}}</ref> The film grossed $42,432,803 at the box office in the [[United States]], yielding $19,100,000 in rentals, on a $640,000 budget,<ref name="the numbers" /> making it the [[1967 in film|sixth highest grossing picture of 1967 in the US]]. Poitier especially benefited from the film's success, for he had agreed to a mere $30,000 fee in exchange for 10% of the gross box office receipts, thus arranging one of the most impressive payoffs in film history. In fact, although Columbia insisted on an annual cap to Poitier of $25,000 to fulfill the percentage term, the studio was forced to revise the deal with Poitier when they calculated that they would be committed to 80 years of payments to him.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Harris |first=Mark |url=https://archive.org/details/picturesatrevolu00harr_0 |title=Pictures at a Revolution: Five Films and the Birth of a New Hollywood |publisher=Penguin Press |year=2008 |isbn=9781594201523 |page=[https://archive.org/details/picturesatrevolu00harr_0/page/328 328] |url-access=registration}}</ref>

Despite the character of Mark Thackeray being a leading role, the film has been criticised in modern times for Poitier's portrayal of the [[Magical Negro]] trope. Specific criticism of the portrayal was directed at the character's service as the sounding board and voice of reason for white antagonists.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2007-03-19 |title=Obama the 'Magic Negro' |url=https://www.latimes.com/la-oe-ehrenstein19mar19-story.html |access-date=2022-11-12 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}}</ref>

James Clavell and Lulu's manager [[Marion Massey]] were angered and disappointed when the title song was not included in the nominations for the [[Academy Award for Best Original Song]] at the [[40th Academy Awards]] in 1968. Clavell and Massey raised a formal objection to the exclusion, but to no avail.<ref>Lulu: ''I Don't Want To Fight''. Sphere Books (2010) Paperback Edition. {{ISBN|978-0751546255}}</ref>
