"3 1/2 Stars. Excellent." - Leonard Maltin's Movie and Video Guide

A novice teacher faces a class of rowdy, undisciplined working-class punks in this classic film that reflected some of the problems and fears of teens in the '60s. Sidney Poitier gives one of his finest performances as Mark Thackeray, an out-of-work engineer who turns to teaching in London's tough East End. The graduating class, led by Denham (Christian Roberts), Pamela (Judy Geeson) and Barbara (Lulu, who also sings the hit title song), sets out to destroy Thackeray as they did his predecessor by breaking his spirit. But Thackeray, no stranger to hostility, meets the challenge by treating the students as young adults who will soon enter a work force where they must stand or fall on their own. When offered an engineering job, Thackeray must decide if he wants to stay.

What a pleasant surprise.. I am very happy about this news. Now if only someone would release Lillies of the Field

[Page14]

Wonderful! I'm in!

[Oscar Rothman]

I thought this was already released on blu-ray in Europe but I was wrong. I've mistaken it for Guess Who's Coming to Dinner Good movie though. I like Poitier.

Is Amazon (and other retailers) going to be selling this?

Not unless you want to pay inflated prices on amazon marketplace, no.

SAE sells on Amazon Marketplace and used to add it their after street date, but I think they stopped listing any new items and seem to have removed quite a few of their older items. Even those on Amazon Market are at a higher price than directly from SAE.

OK, thanks. I was unfamiliar with Twilight time.

Not sure how news of this release got by me, but I am placing my order right away. The review talked about how the title was shut out as far as the Oscars went, but it didn't mention what I consider one of Oscar's greatest mistakes...Sidney Poitier was in this, plus Guess Whose Coming to Dinner, and In the Heat of the Night but never even got nominated for any of them!

I saw the movie when it first came out and loved it right away. About a year or two back, I was lucky enough to see it again at the TCM Film Festival, where it was introduced by Lulu --- and before the movie started she sang the title song for us. Wow!

I'm in the UK and got my copy today.
Looks nice and the bonus features are a welcome addition.
One thing is really bugging me though - with no signs of surgery how does Lulu continue to look 25 years old ?

And really nice to have Judy Geeson on one of the commentaries.
Twilight Time are making great efforts to ensure their releases continue to be the ones to get even when there are releases in other countries.
If this comes out elsewhere I doubt the commentaries or isolated score will be included and both are essential extras here.

No qualms with paying TT prices for this one

It says it's 2 Disc. Wasn't the Twilight version with all the nice Bonus Features a single disc?

I assume this version has none of the Bonus stuff from the Twilight Time version.

I don't have the TT version, but here's what the Indicator version does have (although I think it's very safe to assume the Geeson/Redman/Kirgo commentary is on the TT):
