October 29 1967: The movie To Sir, With Love - starring Sidney Poitier and Lulu performing the theme song - is released in the UK.
It's a far cry from the gang of high school hoodlums with whom Sidney Poitier was involved 12 years ago in "The Blackboard Jungle" to the mixed group of East End London youths he teaches in James Clavell's "To Sir, With Love."
