...made for. Her angular, wide-eyed face nourishes a secret smile and a sensuality that can express itself in a dozen minor keys. Like so many other bright, blonde British birds, she invites comparison with Julie Christie; but in nine films so far, Suzy, now 30, has begun to shape a screen personality all her own. She first drew U.S. viewers' notice as Sidney Poitier's admiring teacher friend in To Sir, with Love, then as the terrorized hostage of The Penthouse.

Many of the students took to introspection with drugs, turned up in class turned on-which infuriated Tussman, who feared his project could...
...openly voice their contempt for the bureaucrats who try to order their lives. The few idealists among the party members are stubborn but become steadily disillusioned. For them, life is a double-cross. Not only do they love as hopelessly as others; their personal lives are wrenched out of shape by loyalty to a cause that they know has become a farce, a police machine instead of a socialist dream...
