VHS Movie Reviews of Goodbye Mr. Chips (1969)
Movie Review: ONE OF MY FAVORITES
Summary: 5 Stars
Ive been waiting such a long time for this movie to come out on dvd. It wasn't the best musical but I found it very entertaining and Peter o"Toole is especially wonderful as always. Petula Clark is fine and touching and love her singing.Movie Review: Goodbye, Mr. Chips with Peter O'Toole
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a most wonderful, musical remake of the original 1939 film. Peter O'Toole and Petula Clark are superb and give most touching performances. Why is this movie not available on DVD? So many inferior films on DVD from this period and other eras are available and I can't help wonder how such a beautiful film as this be overlooked?Movie Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
That this is not available in DVD is incomprehensible. Who still has a VHS??? The last time I saw this I cryed, grown up man that I am and was ,next to my date at a retro movie house. "A" performances by all, music is a embellishment to the story, not a distraction. and makes you wish Petulia Clark made more movies, sad I can't see it again till they make the DVD....Movie Review: This needs to be on DVD NOW
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie definitely needs to be on DVD. Considering what junk is being put out on DVD, it is a shame that one with the music and a story line like this hasn't been done. It doesn't cost that much to put it on DVD, so just do it and let all of us buy it and enjoy the movie and music! Movie Review: Goodbye,great plot
Summary: 2 Stars
This musical could be better termed "Great Actor Meets Famous Singer With Help of Disastrous Script." Pair Peter O'Toole of Lawrence of Arabia fame with Petula "Downtown" Clark,and use a ludicrous script loosely based on the Robert Donat classic. Add music and stir.
In this version,Mr.Chips is an uptight,prudish,dowdy schoolteacher who encounters a dancehall girl when vacationing in the Mediterranean. The dancehall girl is pretty desperate,since she hits on the dowdy teacher,saying,"Let's make whoopee!" One can understand her American Pie-style desperation to lose her virginity,but to him??? As a dancehall girl,didn't she have her pick of guys? Or maybe she's a gold-digger. It has the steaminess of the first encounter between the late Anna Nicole Smith and her late elderly billionaire husband-to-be in the strip club. The paternal Mr.Chips obliges. He gets a trophy wife&becomes a happy,easygoing person. In the original,Mr.Chips' young wife dies in childbirth. This movie throws in WWII and the young wife dies during the Blitz.
"Goodbye Mr.Chips" has some good acting (Sian Philips is a hammy vamp),but it fails as a remake,a musical,and a WWII movie.This musical is blitzed by a bad script,and cheesy songs.
