Review of To Sir, with Love

Sidney Poitier had three films released in 1967, in my opinion this was the best of them. In the Heat of the Night might have been more socially relevant when seen today, and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner might have been more conventionally entertaining, but To Sir, With Love was to me more intelligent, sensitive and emotional that the other two. I am amazed that Sidney was not nominated for the Oscar in 1967, but given his performances in all three films, it's obvious the voters were torn. Sidney Poitier had a year in 1967 that, due to the length of time it takes to make a film these days, may not be repeated now, that is 3 starring roles in three extremely profitable films. This did not happen that often then, so think how may films Tom Cruise, or Nicole Kidman or even Meryl Streep make in a year now. Please rent this film and watch it with an open mind and heart. A genuinely touching, sincere, and ultimately truthful film.
