At the moment, there's not all that much material available about the movie - either in the UK, or the USA. I've tried to create a list of everything that is currently available, but another place to try is Ebay (or Ebay UK), where you can often find material which has been deleted by the publishers.

General Stuff

If you want an official copy of the movie script, you can get one from http://www.scriptfly.com/screenplays/ (you have to fill in the order form manually - the current cost is $15, plus $5 (US shipping), plus 8.5% California tax if you live there. Shipping is $12 to Alaska, Canada and Hawaii, and $15 to everywhere else.)

Sheet music of the title track is available from several places on the web. For example, sheetmusicplus.com (USA), or musicmakers.co.uk (UK) - note that, bizarrely, although it's available on its own in the USA, in the UK you have to buy a music book called "Heart And Soul - New Songs From Ally McBeal featuring Vonda Shepard" to get it...

UK Material

Buy the book from Amazon UK The book the film is based on. This is the 'basic' paperback edition, but there have been many editions over the years.
Buy the DVD from Amazon UK The DVD of the film - this is the UK Region 2 edition, but it's virtually identical to the US edition which supplied the photos in the gallery. The picture and sound quality are fantastic, and the film's as good as ever - the only slight criticism is the lack of extras!
The UK (PAL) video of the movie - given the lack of quality in any VHS tape compared to the DVD, it's pretty good - and a lot cheaper (or it was - it's currently deleted). If you ant to try and find a copy, the best place to start looking is Blackstar - do a search for the title, then use their 'Videohunt' service to see if they can find one. Other alternatives are Ebay, Yahoo Auctions and Amazon Auctions. Alternatively, if your video recorder can play NTSC tapes, you can get the US version of the video from Amazon US (see below)
Now this is a bit of a curiosity. Created for US television, it takes Sidney Poitier (still playing Mark who became a schools advisor) from London (the best part is the ten minutes at the beginning when Mark goes back to North Quay, and meets a grown-up Lulu and Judy Geeson) to Chicago. From there, it's basically a retread of the original without the soul. The video has never (as far as I'm aware) been available in the US, and has recently been deleted in the UK (try Blackstar - link above - for a copy)

US Material

Buy the soundtrack from Amazon US

The soundtrack album of the film. Contains all the music from the movie, including Lulu's title track, and songs by the Mindbenders, along with the incidental music. The track listing is:

  1. To Sir With Love - Lulu
  2. School Break Dancing "Staling My Love from Me" - Lulu
  3. Thackeray Meets Faculty, Then Alone
  4. Music from Lunch Break "Off and Running" - The Mindbenders
  5. Thackeray Loses Temper, Gets an Idea
  6. Museum Outings Montage "To Sir, With Love" - Lulu
  7. A Classical Lesson
  8. Perhaps I Could Tidy Your Desk
  9. Potter's Loss of Temper in Gym
  10. Thackeray Reads Letter About Job
  11. Thackeray and Denham Box in Gym
  12. The Funeral
  13. End of Term Dance "It's Getting Harder All the Time" - The Mindbenders
  14. To Sir With Love - LuLu

Note that there are no less than three versions of the title track!

Unfortunately, it's recently been discontinued by the record company, so your best bet's probably an online auction.The picture links to Amazons page on it, which includes links to Amazon ZShops and Auctions with the soundtrack. There was also a vinyl LP issued in the 60's, which is now a collectors item. If you only want the title track, there are dozens of versions (on Lulu greatest hits albums, for a start!)

Buy the paperback at Amazon US The American mass-market paperback version of ER Braithwaite's book which, of course, is the basis of the film.
Buy the DVD from Amazon US The Region 1 DVD version of the movie - great picture and sound quality, but lacking extras - the best version of the film currently available.
Buy the Video from Amazon US The US Columbia Classics video of the movie - the same print as the DVD, but without the sublime digital quality - it is much cheaper, though!

Do you know of anything else related to the movie (particularly scripts, posters, photo sets, etc.) which anyone has for sale? If so, e-mail me, and I'll add it to the list. If you have items to sell or trade which you'd like to add to the website, let me know, and I'll sort out a 'classified ads' page.
