Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1969) Reviews

Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1969)
Member Rating:  
This is a musical remake of the 1939 film. Arthur Chipping (Peter O'Toole) is the staid instructor at a posh school for boys where he dreams of becoming headmaster. He falls in love with Katherine (Petula Clark) and he helps the singing dance-hall girl polish her social skills. The two are married, but Katherine is killed during in an airplane crash on her way to entertain Allied troops. Arthur carries on, dedicating his life to her memory and teaching two generations of students who were lucky enough to have him for a teacher and a friend. Herbert Ross makes his directorial debut in this sentimental musical that never approached the success of the original. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

As Rex Reed once said, "This is sentimental muck, but it's good sentimental muck!" I loved this movie for exactly what it is, a tear-jerker with good songs, great cinematography, acceptable acting performance, and lots of heart strings. Sure, it's not Oscar material, but it's sweet and simple. Sometimes that's all one wants in a movie.

So and So. But it didn't make me fall asleep either. I received the wrong one from BB. So I ranked this one here.

I love this movie in any form!!! Peter O'Toole, though not a gifted singer, is one of the greatest actors of all time. And he plays Mr. Chips so wonderfully!!! I especially loved the ending.
