In this scene, my dears, Pamela (Judy Geeson) persuades Thackeray (Sidney Poitier) to join her for the ‘Ladies Choice’ dance. Despite disruptive students mocking his parting gift, he tears up an engineering job offer, embracing the challenges ahead. Adorned with a flower, he leaves.
🎬To Sir, with Love (1967): A novice teacher faces a class of rowdy, undisciplined working-class punks in this classic film that reflects some of the problems and fears of teens in the 60s. Sidney Poitier gives one of his finest performances as Mark Thackeray, an out-of-work engineer who turns to teaching in London’s tough East End. The graduating class, led by Denham (Christian Roberts), Pamela (Judy Geeson), and Barbara (Lulu, who also sings the hit title song), sets out to destroy Thackeray as they did his predecessor by breaking his spirit. But Thackeray, no stranger to hostility, meets the challenge by treating the students as young adults who will soon enter a workforce where they must stand or fall on their own. When offered an engineering job, Thackeray must decide if he wants to stay.
