À propos de ce film

A novice teacher faces a class of rowdy, undisciplined working-class punks in this classic film that reflected 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. 1966, renewed 1994 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Notes et avis

This is a classic. I still remember the first time I saw this movie, i was 12 years old 1990. At first I laughed at the styles but the message came through loud and clear. Education is and has always been the key to success. There are no dumb students only those who learn differently. After i watched this movie i had to compare it to another similar movie in high school, Mr Holland's Opus. ❤ i loved them both.

I was 12 years old when this movie came out and I am now 66.and I still remember how good that movie was. Sydney I have always admired him since that time and recently rewatched for I don't know how many times his movie they call me Mr. Tibbs. I even had to pay for it lol

I watched this for the first time a few weeks ago and I absolutely fell in love with it!!!❤ Can't recommend enough for everyone to watch this it hits home on the values we can forget ❤
