Blu-ray Verified Purchase. One person found this helpful. I enjoyed this production, but not as much as I thought I would! It boasts quite a strong cast, with every member giving their all, with Michael Volle deserving a special mention, in fact it is hard to criticise the performance as there is no weak point in the cast or orchestra. She is after all the only singer to have two different recordings of this wonderful work in the catalogue, although I do find this production to be better than her DG one from the Licieu under the baton of Michael Boder, although this is more to do with the less than ideal supporting cast.
If you're singing and playing the role of "Lulu", you need not just the talent, but a lot of moxie to play someone who's a party girl, a dancer, a murderer, and a prostitute. And can also express just the right amount of "crazy", far beyond your average Lucia. Patricia Petibon handles the task admirably with her singing, facial expressions, and yes, her body as she is not dressed for winter in most of this.
Also worthy of praise is Michael Volle as the exasperated Dr. Schon and the quietly menacing Jack The Ripper. This is from the Salzburg Festival, and thankfully they don't get too outrageous the subject matter takes care of that , except for giving the patrons a bit of 3-D by playing the opening of the third act amongst the audience.
The stage settings are spare with the emphasis on the backdrops And you can't go wrong with the Vienna Philharmonic. A worthwile program from Salzburg. They described it as "Picture Perfect". This blu-ray of Alban Berg's opera 'Lulu' promised to be very appealing. I am sure it would live up to that promise, if only the disc could be played. There is some flaw in the programming so that only one menu option appears: Pressing enter, play, arrow keys, or any other key on the remote, are all to no avail.
There is no way to actually play the disc.

Changing his approach, he informs the students that he will treat them as adults, and allow them to discuss issues of their own choosing for the remainder of the term.
Future classes discuss what the pupils can expect when they leave school, including advice on how to apply for jobs. Thackeray wins the class over, except for Denham, who continues to bait him. Thackeray suggests a class outing to a museum, which turns out to be a success. He loses some of this new-found support when he defuses a potentially violent situation between Potter Chris Chittell and a gym teacher, Mr Bell.
In class, he demands that Potter apologize directly to Bell for the incident even if he believes Bell was wrong.
The group refuses to invite Thackeray to the class dance, and when Seales' Anthony Villaroel mother dies, the class takes up a collection for a wreath but refuses to accept Thackeray's donation. At this point, the headmaster advises him that he feels "the adult approach" has failed; future class outings are cancelled, and Thackeray is to take over the boys' gym classes until the headmaster can find a replacement. Meanwhile, Thackeray receives the engineer job offer in the post.
During gym class, Denham smugly challenges Thackeray to a boxing match, which comes to an abrupt end after Thackeray delivers just one punch to Denham's mid-section. However, he compliments Denham's ability and suggests Denham teach boxing to the younger pupils next year. Denham expresses his admiration for Thackeray to his fellow pupils; Thackeray wins back their respect and is invited to the class dance.
Later, when Thackeray attends the funeral of Seales' mother, he is touched to find that his lectures on personal choices and responsibility have been taken to heart, and his entire class has also come despite the stigma they would receive for entering the home of a colored person.

At the dance, Barbara Pegg Lulu announces a "ladies choice" dance and Pamela chooses Thackeray as her dance partner. While Barbara sings the film theme song, the class presents Thackeray with a gift. He is too moved for words and retires to his classroom. Two youths rush into the classroom, and upon seeing Thackeray they begin mocking his gift, a silver tankard and card "To sir, with love", with the students' signatures, and joke that they will be in his class next year.
After they leave, Thackeray tears up the job offer letter. He then takes a flower from the vase on his desk, places it on his lapel and returns to the dance.
Sidney Poitier and James Clavell wanted to do the film, but Columbia was reluctant. We held out, saying this was a gentle story, and we won. Upon its U. Poitier gives a quaint example of being proper and turning the other cheek.
Although he controls himself with difficulty in some of his confrontations with his class, and even flares up on one occasion, he never acts like a boor, the way one of his fellow teachers played by Geoffrey Bayldon does. Except for a few barbed comments by the latter, there is little intrusion of or discussion about the issue of race: It is as discreetly played down as are many other probable tensions in this school. To Sir, with Love comes off as a cozy, good-humored and unbelievable little tale.
Halliwell's Film and Video Guide describes it as "sentimental non-realism" and quotes a Monthly Film Bulletin review possibly contemporary with its British release , which claims that "the sententious script sounds as if it has been written by a zealous Sunday school teacher after a particularly exhilarating boycott of South African oranges". The Time Out Film Guide says that it "bears no resemblance to school life as we know it" and the "hoodlums' miraculous reformation a week before the end of term thanks to teacher Poitier is laughable".
He manages to come across as a real person, while simultaneously embodying everything there is to know about morality, respect and integrity. The film premiered and became a hit one month before another film about troubled schools, Up the Down Staircase , appeared. The original album was released on Fontana Records. It was re-released onto CD in AllMusic rated it three stars out of five. The title song was a Cash Box Top number-one single for three weeks. Directors Guild of America. The film is recognized by American Film Institute in these lists:. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
