To Sir With Love Film – Classic Gaiety Cinema 10th December 1967

 

Dave Nattress… I remember this film – almost/sort of attained Cult status. Great song and vocal and just look at all those amps and speaker cabinets behind Lulu. Marshall’s some of them for sure, although it’s a hazy image. Mind you the other film Karamoja – naked people indeed, must have been a bit out there for the time. I recall being all of 12 – 15 or so and hearing that there was one cinema in Hastings that had the reputation for putting on mainly “x” films, would it be the Curzon? We had none of that in sedate Bexhill you know! Even the Lone Ranger at the ABC minors was edited as too violent and the gun-shots were silenced otherwise they’d wake the old-folk up. One of which (so the numbers say, I suppose I am now). LOL. Life’s been glass half full mostly and then overflowing a lot of times thankfully, but it’s gone by so far damn quickly.

Andre Martin… Fact – in the end part of the film when they are at the School Dance the group appearing are “The Mindbenders” and this had been filmed in Windsor using an old barracks for the scene.
