Good performances elevate the material.
What makes To Sir, With Love 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.
A cozy, good-humored and unbelievable little tale.
Well-meaning tripe from 1966, crossbreeding Swinging London and social consciousness as Sidney Poitier tries to educate some East End ghetto kids.
In movies like this one, Poitier's self-inflicted stereotype of goodness cancels out his acting.
