Shades of Blackboard Jungle (1955)

Remember “Blackboard Jungle” (1955) with Glen Ford and Sidney Poitier? A novel by Evan Hunter was about an inner-city school teacher who had to deal with resistance from unruly students and an uncaring faculty. Now in “To Sir, with Love” (1967), Sidney Poitier becomes the teacher in a film based on a similar novel by E.R. Braithwaite. This time he is an engineer-trainee teacher that had to deal with resistance from unruly students from the slums and ineffective faculty. There are several reasons this movie stands out even today. Sidney did an outstanding job in playing Mark Thackeray; you can believe and empathize with his character. Most of the supporting actors are or became stars. The theme song “To Sir with Love” (Lyrics by Don Black) was sung by Lulu.
