Sir Sidney Poitier also did a masterful job
in “To Sir With Love”

A lot to like in this movie

Do love this song and did enjoy the movie. However, I loved Sir Sidney’s earlier movie, “Lilies of the Field”, more.

As for school heroics, the 1988 movie, “Stand and Deliver” (Edward James Olmos as Jaime Escalante), is still the best of this genre, not the least because it was mostly true!

Great,great film...one of my all time favorites.And a great song too.Being a teenager in the 60’s was great in many ways...including the British Invasion.I sometimes wonder how great it must have been to be a teenager in London during that time.

October 15, 1967 began as a beautiful sunny morning with clear blue skies as hot, dry Santa Ana winds swept the smog out of the air. But in the early afternoon, I looked up and saw a dark gray cloud in the otherwise cloudless sky. I knew immediately what it was, so I walked over the hill to look out over Worsham Canyon in the Whittier Hills just behind Whittier College and saw that a huge brush fire had broken out up toward Workman Hill. It appeared to be moving our way.

WWII-era B-17’s and TBM Avenger torpedo bombers were soon flying in low to drop chemicals on the blaze.

We watched the fire burn right up close to several homes, including one where friends of mine lived, but the firemen and the old war birds held the line. Although the fire went on to burn 2,000 acres, no homes were lost.
