Despite the “abolition of Slavery” by England, several European countries, as well as many countries in the Americas, still engaged in that “evil socioeconomic institution of African Slavery.” This movie examines the very doctrine of freedom vs enslavement, as it was perceived and practiced within America (land of the free?), and the final legal decision by the U. S. Supreme Court to acknowledge the “rights of freeborn Africans” to be returned to their countries and homes therein, and to be reunited with their families and loved ones.

This movie examines the major flaws of the New York State “Reformatory System” and the physical and sexual abuses that were allowed to exist and that were inflicted upon the youth who were held there, under the pretense of correcting their antisocial behavior. It is also a story of revenge and retribution, for those horrible acts committed against those young juveniles, who found themselves defenseless against their male correctional officers. This movie is deeply intense, and should be viewed with an objective and empathetic mind.
One of the 1960s' most beloved and endearing films, To Sir With Love is available on DVD through Columbia Classics. The DVD features the widescreen anamorphic (1:85:1) version of the film on one side and the full-screen (1:33:1) version on the other. Also included are scene selections as well as subtitles in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, and Thai. The included booklet has brief production notes. Other bonus features include detailed talent files on director James Clavell and the film's star, Sidney Poitier, who was at the height of his popularity at the time of the film's release, plus the film's trailer, as well as bonus trailers for the Poitier A Raisin in the Sun, Buck and the Preacher, and Brother John. The only thing missing from this otherwise fine DVD is some mention of the film's other interesting actors, especially Lulu, who scored one of the biggest hits of the 1960s with the film's timeless title song.

An in-depth examination of the personal, social, and, emotional issues that confronted four “professional Black Women,” and how their bond of friendship, helped to guide them through the fog of despair, loneliness, and betrayal.

Excellent contrast between the privileged urban elites, and the working class urbanite, who struggles to survive economically, while trying to keep his family intact, and deal with the demons of his alcoholism. The ending was both illuminating and triumphant for both main characters. Outstanding performance by all the prime cast members.

Exceptional accuracy regarding the historical background provided for America’s involvement, after France realized it could no longer control its colony. In addition, the contrasting view-points regarding the validity of America’s involvement in the Vietnam Conflict/War, was highlighted with great precision.

This particular movie, unlike so many other previous WW II movies (made as post-war propaganda tools), surveyed the geopolitical interest of the Japanese government, and the flawed U. S. Intelligence leaders, who failed to acknowledge a rising threat in Asia, during a time of conflict & war in Europe.
Great historical content for the serious viewer, and students of history.
