• HOW TO RUIN ONE'S LIFE
  Good, not great tale of a Senior class in a London public school circa 1967. Poitier is excellent as Mark Thackeray, a first year teacher with an engineering degree, who takes on some of the toughest Dickensian type students that one can imagine.

• Timeless Classic!
  TSWL has been a favourite of mine for many years. They picked a really great cast to make this film.

This film shows how one man (Poitier) made a difference in trying to tackle these problem at the time.

We both cried at the end! IF ONLY they made movies like this again!
