[[Category:Influences on Morrissey - Film and Television]] [[File:To Sir, With Love.jpg | 200px | right | thumb |To Sir, With Love poster]] ==Relevance== Morrissey paid tribute to the film by posing for a photograph (by [[Juergen Teller]]) at the corner of Tench Street / Reardon Street - which Sidney Poitier walks down during the film.<br> It was used/licenced for use as a poster. <br> Morrissey mentions this film in [[Mention::Autobiography]] as one he'd watch with his sister:<br> <blockquote> "My sister and my mother never sing, but my sister and I were united in the glorification of the social problem film β a fly-by television treat never to be missed, especially the school-as-cesspit honesty of [[Spare The Rod]] (1961), [[Term Of Trial]] (1962), [[Up The Down Staircase]] (1967) or [[To Sir, With Love]] (1967), wherein slum kids are shown to endure in sufferance the pointlessness of secondary education (for what use is anything at all that is secondary?). [[Blackboard Jungle]] (1957) had been the first to free teachers β spouting resentment at the no-hope kids who were, by birth, three rungs below scum β and boundaries of frankness snapped. Jackie and I would watch as many films as we could, long before the days when television channels refused to transmit monochrome films for fear that no one would watch." </blockquote>
