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

Goodbye Mr Chips September 6, 2008
This is one of those classic movies that leaves you feeling great. I highly recommend it to anyone who has an appreciation of history, love stories, and high ideals.
One of my very favorite movies!!! August 7, 2008
There's nothing like a black and white film and a love story that touches your heart! This is about true love and respect that was in a marriage, in days long-gone-by and the value of being a role model to young people.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! June 4, 2008
If you've never seen this movie, see it!! Then buy it!! It's an absolutely wonderful movie for all ages. It centers around a teacher and all the years that he spends with his students. It stars Robert Donat who won an Academy Award for this role. He meets the love of his life played by Greer Garson and his shy life changes for the better. I am a movie buff and I especially enjoy movies from the 1930's to 1940's black and white films. Look out for Terry Kilburn's wonderful performance...he appeared as Tiny Tim the year before in "A Christmas Carol". This is one of my favorite movies...the kind they don't make anymore!!P.S. You'll need your tissues handy; it's a tear-jerker!!!
goodbye mr chips May 18, 2008
Bring back the cane thats what i say great movie that style cannot be repeated in this age of blood and guts thank god for dvds.
 Well made DVD March 10, 2008
I was worried that the age of the movie would show on this DVD. That is it would show the deterioration of the age of the movie. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it was done.
The only thing that could have made it better was to colorize it. One teen son enjoyed this with me. The other hates to watch B/W. And for the sake of a wider audience, colorizing would help this film.
I must have grown a lot since I saw this on TV years ago. I didn't cry this time.
