The 1967 drama, “To Sir, With Love,” starring Sidney Poitier, Christian Roberts and Judy Geeson, screens at the Soper Reese Theatre on Tuesday, Sept. 25, at 1 and 6 pm. Organizers emphasized entry to the film is by donation.
A strong cast and unforgettable title song make this an undeniable classic, with Sidney Poitier as the struggling teacher who wins over his rowdy Cockney pupils. The film addresses issues of race and class and offers a window into London in the mid 1960s. The event organizers stated the production design is marvelous and, along with the fine cinematography, captures the desolate nature of the rundown East End.
The movie is sponsored by The California Retired Teachers Association CalRTA Div. 35. The movie is not rated. Run time is 1 hour and 45 minutes. The Soper Reese Theatre is located at 275 S. Main St., Lakeport, visitors may contact them via phone at 707-263-0577, or visit the website at soperreesetheatre.com.
