VHS Movie Reviews of Goodbye Mr Chips (1939) [VHS]

Movie Review: Leaves You a Better Person
Summary: 5 Stars

In Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939), Robert Donat plays a painfully shy and humble school teacher named Mr. Chipping.

Mr. Chipping comes to Brookfield school as a 22 year-old Latin teacher. His early years are marked by awkwardness and unpopularity. While on a walking tour of Europe with a friend, Chipping meets Kathy, a beautiful and lively younger woman played by Greer Garson, whom he marries. Kathy's outgoing and lovely personality endears her (and Mr. Chipping) to the students at Brookfield.

Chipping stays at the school for over 60 years (1870-1933). He becomes a favorite of the school, loved by generations of students (all by the way, whom it seems he remembers).

Mr. Chips, as he is affectionately called, is a character who it is hard not to admire. He is full of sincerity, love, and faithfulness. It shows in his unselfish devotion to his students and his kindness to others.

Robert Donat won best actor for his role in this film, which was nominated for seven Academy Awards.

I thoroughly enjoyed every second of Goodbye, Mr. Chips. It is one of those films that leave you a better person for watching.

Summary of Goodbye Mr Chips (1939) [VHS]

One more terrific film from a terrific year for movies--1939, the year of Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, and Stagecoach, among others--Sam Wood's Goodbye Mr. Chips is a deeply stirring work starring Robert Donat as the old schoolmaster who looks back upon his life. Told mostly in flashbacks, the film wraps itself around a history of an older England as seen through the generations of boys who pass through Mr. Chips's classroom. Greer Garson is her usual classy, sexy-intelligent self as Donat's wife, their earlier courtship one of the film's highlights. Get out the Kleenex for this one. --Tom Keogh
