1967 was a banner year for Sidney Poitier, To Sir, With Love, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and In The Heat of the Night, all great films. Let any actor of today match that.
Denzel is Bad, But Mr. Poitier......... I have yet to see ANYONE, past or present, do what he does, just the emotions conveyed in his facial expressions is enough to tell the full and complete story
1:00 As tough as Denham thought he was....he was NOT gonna try Mr Thachery at this moment.You could see the fear in his eyes and the haste in which he moved.
I remember watching this when I was a kid. I couldn’t figure out what they were burning. I asked my mom and she said “nothing”! When I was older, I was like “oooooh...”. I knew it was something, Mother. What a brilliant movie. Fantastic acting, great story and enjoyable music. Must have watched this a million times and I never get sick of it.
It's been years, but I seem to recall the film cut to a scene of the sanitary pad (not a tampon) smoldering in the heater grate, then cut back to Poitier, who then expelled the boys from the room and delivered his rebuke of the girls in 'private'.
When I was a kid I asked my mom what “rape” meant. She said it was when a man mugged a woman. I said, then why don’t they just call it “mug”? No reply.
I saw the movie for the first time as a young child and that scene made a powerful impression on me, even though I didn't understand what he saw. I subsequently guessed, and guessed correctly as I read the book in high school. Years later when I went on the IMDB message board, there were several threads about this scene, and I was surprised at how many people actually didn't know what it was, and were guessing drugs. a bra, a baby?!
Now days the kids would have pulled a gun or done something terrible to a good teacher like that. So sad, we need decent people like Sidney. People don't like change and he really made a change in this movie.
Oh yes. He is one of the greatest actors of all time. There's a lot of actors who have tried to channel him in film. Some have come close in some films. Such as Daniel Kaluuya in Judas and the black messiah and Get Out. Mahershala Ali in Green Book and Swan Song. And John Boyega in Attack the Block, Small Axe and Detroit. I even think John looks almost just like a young Sidney Poirier crossed with touches of Denzel. He has some of both of their mannerisms when they were young. Mark my words, the best is yet to come for John Boyega. He is the next Sidney as an actor to me. And I think he will have that type of leading man career similar to him too
Yes, initially he shames the girls for their vulgarity. Whether they abide this rebuke he knows is beyond his control (“... if you must play these filthy games do them in your home!”). But the force of the scene, for me, comes from his powerful conviction that the kids cannot violate his own dignity and self-respect.
@@motman52 He tried from the beginning of term to encourage them to develop dignity through open discussion and by example. This time they pushed beyond his limits and he’s fighting for his own dignity, not theirs.
@@us-Bahn I watched the movie today and honestly he seemed a little detached from the job in the early scenes. But it was here where he definitely found his power and control
It was a sanitary napkin, not tampon and female toilet cubicles had incinerators on the walls of select toilets for such a disposal. We still had them at my high school. Some little scrag decided to play a filthy prank. I always wondered who it was. I am always glad Pamela comes in afterward and always disappointed that Babs is there.
kazabushy Well, I've just learned something new! There were incinerators for feminine products built into the walls of public bathrooms as well as high schools in the U.K.?
So many favorite scenes in this movie.All though its my second favorite scene ( " Its a ladies choice" is my fave) this is the most powerful.I think when they dropped the water bomb already had him steamed up.....this put him over the edge!
When I read the book it reminded me of my own horrible junior high. When we saw the movie my Mom described it as a "typical John Rowe Townsend school."
A sign of the times the film waa made. Would teachers now still address a girl playing a prank of that kind - absolutely- would they use the language he uses - absolutely not. Remember every school had an incinerator in the female toilets for sanitary items, hence why they are pranking by burning it in the classroom and not the bathroom. Its a great performance and an important scene but the level of his disgust is now dated.
@M R please accept it as a movie of its time.leave it as it is.what he said was wrong but that was the world then.Even as a woman this would have disgusted me and if young pupils of mine had left a used tampon around to upset me and degrade me purposely I would have done something about it.If they had tried to use some social justice issue about periods to justify it I would have still dealt with it.Yes they were trying to shame him.A black teacher.Let us see it as it is.

RIP my brother,Mr. Sidney Poitier. Wonderful actor and great acting in that legendary movie.
Over half a century on and it is still a masterpiece. Poitier is incredible in his power. How come we cant do this anymore?
@cisco kid
Bob Hope said if all movies got ridden of foul words; we'd return to the silent ones era.
How come? Because people don't believe in decency anymore. It has become a foul word, whereas foul words have become "decent."

as a kid l never exactly got what was happening here...thus the beauty of this scene.
Imagine all the bloopers and outtakes from making this
