From the movie with the same name ,produced in England many moons ago...written by ER BRAITHWAITE...A Guyanese
school teacher/pilot/Physic PhD etc. who was an immigrant like many who did well beyond,in trying times in a world
where times were hard esp., for an immigrant..a trues success story...EPIC.
If you haven't seen the movie ...see it ..it's a classic IMO....another great movie with Mr. Poiter "Guess who's coming to Dinner"
viewed around the world as a MASTERPIECE...but really it is.
It was autobiographical in that it depicted a teacher called
Ricky Braithwaite (the character was renamed Mark Thackeray in the film), who, like the author, a wartime RAF pilot and physics PhD, possessed substantial qualifications.Dec 14, 2016...enjoy the song.
