Lulu is the one you see with the red hair in the movie, she is the one singing it, and you will see her sing it at the graduation party at the end. I don't understand why NO ONE has reacted to this whole movie! It is SUCH a good movie.
I was in sixth grade when this movie came out and my Mother said I couldn't go see it when a friend asked me to go see it with her. I went anyway and lied to my Mom and told her that we saw another movie instead. My first major lie as a teenager. Great movie and I'm a long time fan of Sidney Poitier and Lulu.
Lulu is the red headed girl in the purple sweater. What a great movie!! One of my favorites to this day! You should watch it. ( and yes, the blonde does develop a crush on Sir, but he quashes it Immediately, because he's a proper gentleman!!) She comes to her senses, and it all works out in the end. The ENTIRE class ends up respecting him.
That's is legendary iconic actor, director & dilomat Sidney Poitier he just recently passed away back in January age 94. Originally from Bahamas born in Miami fL was raised in carribean. He has very interesting story love his movies as well very active in the civil rights movement. He played a big part breaking down the barriers of black male actors getting prominent roles. Love Lulu she has a beautiful voice and can sing
Awesome! "If you wanted the sky \ I would write across the sky in letters \ That would soar a thousand feet high \ 'To Sir, with love'" -- Lulu is the student wearing the purple sweater.
yup you got it, empress, though it wasn't specifically only her but the entire class that was brought to adulthood, sung through her perspective. the singer lulu also co-starred in this film as a student (short haired red head). in those final scenes, poitier's sir is leaving to take an engineering job (his original profession) so the kids compose and sing this song as a thank you along with that gift. sir is so moved that he rips up his engineer invite to stay and teach. if that whole scene doesn't bring you to tears you aren't human. see the film, it is excellent ❤
I, gasp, have never seen the movie. But I have loved this song for so very long. It is such a great song to evoke admiration, gratitude and love. All important attributes of a relationship.
*Empress* As a Guy with loads of empathy,I felt beauty of the sentiment....The Emotional beauty of it was so moving,It made me cry a bit,because of the gratitude that came from it.....Poitier`s Character AWOKEN their respective Humanities,and their self-respect,and made them stronger and more wiser,hense MY being moved,by the sentiment. I do not know if you like or think being VERY Empathetic is a good thing...But in me...I cannot help my being moved by such a beautiful sentiment,,, But that is ME,I GUESS! *shrugs*
The singer of this song, Lulu is also in the film! I believe her character is the girl in the purple top that gets shown a lot in this video. My mom had this song on a 45 when I was growing up and it was one she played a lot so I would definitely say this is another one from my life's soundtrack
Nostalgia ride for me.GREAT song and GREAT film.I remember watching the movie with my then girlfriend FATAU-TUPU(Tupu for short)a samoan woman,at my apt.I had just returned from Germany,I had been seriously injured in an ambush in Iraq on a combat patrol.I deployed there with the Texas National Guard.I was recovering at Ramstein Air Force hospitol for 3& 1/2 months,this was in 2006,from there once I was fit,I was sent back to Ft Hood,Tx with my rear-detachment unit.Tupu waited for me while I was deployed(good woman)we watched-To Sir With Love at my apt,Tupu started crying at 2 key emotional scenes and I ribbed her pretty good for it.We both laughed.Tupu told me she really enjoyed the film.I lost 8 of my friends in that ambush,I still have nightmares about it,even with medication.I feel lucky to be ALIVE.BUT,I do miss my buddies,DEARLY. SEMPER-FI.
@@EmpressReactsThank you Empress,you're sooo sweet and kind.You remind me a lot of my 5 sisters,whom I love dearly.But,it was the nature of the beast,the military needed bodies to fight wars on 2 fronts,so they recalled joes like me back to active duty toAgo fight overseas.I did 4 yrs US Navy & 7 yrs US Army before heading to Iraq.I thought I might deploy once or twice,not 4 times !!! DAMN !!! LOL.I did my first 2 deployments back-to back!!! OUCH. LOL.That truly sucked!!! LOL.My then wife left me when I told her about the 2nd tour,at least she told she was leaving to my face.It felt like someone kicked me in the stomach!!! I was really PISSED!!! LOL.Decide to take it out on the ENEMY!!! AND I DID.My soldiers called me-MAD-DOG-behind my back LOL.BUT,they didn't know why I was sooo ANGRY.I never told anyone I was DRAFTED to fight a war I didn't believe in. I just showed up,cocked.locked and ready to ROCK!!! LOL.Sorry my thread is sooo long,have a lot to say. SEMPER-FI.
....LE-LUU!?? ...LA-LOOO!? ..LUU- LULU!??? ..."ABFAB" Fans know what I mean by THAT! ...ha-HAAA!! ...Oh I love LULU, but I'm not gonna do 'trivia time' with her, I'll be here for HOURS!! ... I'll just read YOUR comments! ...ha-HAAA!!
I saw the film many years ago before there were alot of movies with the same plot.they came after. It's a great movie and Sidney is very good in it.i don't think he made a bad movie and he's a good looking fella.this song usually makes me emotional. Please checkout Lulu's first hit that she had not long before this when she was 15 called shout.alot of people recognise the opening note.also checkout her song with UK band take that from the 90's called relight my fire 30years after shout came out.
One more comment - The version of the song you saw showed scenes with the entirety of the song. In the movie itself, there were 3 times it was heard. The very beginning, towards the middle during a scene at the museum, and at the ending. My personal favorites were the museum scene and the ending scene. I have the links to those two below ... however, if you haven't seen the movie yet, perhaps watch that before watching these clips... Link #1: Mid-scene going to the museum - what I like about this scene is that the faces of the students gets superimposed with the artwork, and its wonderful how they mimic one another. the song here is at its best I think. (th-cam.com/video/7aSFoY3W3NM/w-d-xo.html ) Link #2: End scene - this is the point in the movie that shows Lulu actually singing to Sir. You really have to watch the movie first to appreciate this one. (th-cam.com/video/nXaEf4ktpPA/w-d-xo.html )
Right on E, your analogy of Dusty Petula, and Lulu being the Adeles of the sixties. As far as the movie , it's the blonde in the classroom that fell for Sydney. Cheers
Like other have said, you got the main plot right off. I would like to add, don't just watch this movie, but watch EVERY Sidney Poitier movie you can .... as far as I can tell, every movie he was in has been incredible. (By the way, there was also a follow-up movie to this one ..."To Sir With Love 2" ... that I have never been able to find. It takes place decades later...)
Must be a sign of the times we live in. Everyone that reacts to this video immediately jumps to the idea that they have a sexual thing going on. Wow...grow up people...do better.
The class learn to respect to their teacher in case you dont Scottish Lulu shes the with short blond hair with white earrings love that song
Lulu is the one you see with the red hair in the movie, she is the one singing it, and you will see her sing it at the graduation party at the end. I don't understand why NO ONE has reacted to this whole movie! It is SUCH a good movie.
The lady at 1:29 in the video is Lulu. She was in the movie and was married to Maurice Gibb of the BeeGees.
oh wow!!!!

Saw this when it came out in 67 and it's been in my mind ever since. Rest in peace, Sidney.
Wow I gotta see it
@@EmpressReacts Why don't you react to it here, on TH-cam? Not sure if you react to movies or not but you should!
Great song, great Lulu vocals, great movie with great acting, great pick, great reaction -- in other words, just freakin' GREAT! 👍🏆💯
What a wonderful song. You kind of touching on my soft side with this one.
The movie is more then what you described and a must see movie.
noted!

Great song/movie. Yup, it has the classic teacher plot. lol There's a student crush but no romance. Lulu is the student with short red hair iirc.
Lulu is the one with the short red hair In the movie
Lulu is the one in film with short red hair
This one is before my time, but I enjoy listening to it as much as any of my favorite songs.
Awesome! "If you wanted the sky \ I would write across the sky in letters \ That would soar a thousand feet high \ 'To Sir, with love'" -- Lulu is the student wearing the purple sweater.
This is an amazing movie and who would not fall from the incredibly handsome Sidney Poitier?
Empress, I hope you do a reaction to "To Sir With Love" movie!!! The song and movie are in my all-time favorites lists!!!
Oh dang I might gotta check it out🤣

You guessed the plot of the movie correctly. Another Lulu song you might like is "Oh Me, Oh My".
Aye!!
@@EmpressReacts YES! You gotta do that one; LULU is a vocal powerhouse❤️
Best movie EVER!
Fantastic movie‼️❤️

Fun Fact - Lulu was married to Maurice Gibb from 1969 - 1973. I love her great unique voice!!
