An elder teacher and former boarding school headmaster looks back upon his career and personal life over the decades. Stars Greer Garson, Paul Henreid, Terry Kilburn. Based on the novel by James Hilton, GOODBYE, MR. CHIPS is the story of a shy English schoolmaster who dedicates his life to his boys. In an Oscar-winning performance, Robert Donat plays Mr. Chipping, a young classics scholar en route to his first assignment at the reputable Brookfield school. Although his first interactions with the boys go miserably, he remains determined to become headmaster. But Chipping is simply too stuck on propriety to ever become popular with the students. Depressed, Chipping goes hiking in the Tyrols, where he meets Katherine Ellis (Greer Garson, in her first screen role). The two meet again on the Danube in Vienna, where they waltz the night away and kiss for the first time. Katherine becomes Mrs. Chipping, and she renames him Mr. Chips when they return together to Brookfield. Over time, the charming Mrs. Chipping turns Mr. Chips into an amiable gentleman who is adored by his pupils. But just when the world looks its rosiest, the depths of tragedy await Mr. Chips. Directed by Sam Wood, highly regarded for his handling of collegiate subjects and tearjerking themes, GOODBYE, MR. CHIPS was one of the most critically acclaimed films of 1939. GOODBYE, MR. CHIPS is well lodged in English history and popular culture. It was based on the real life of William H. Balgairne, who taught at the Leys School in Cambridge. The film was shot at the Repton School, which was founded in 1557. Numerous students and faculty members worked on the film for free, and the location fee for the use of the school was turned into a scholarship fund. The film was a great success in England.
GOODBYE MR. CHIPS marked the film debut for actress Greer Garson. She received an Oscar nomination for her performance. The film received several Oscar nominations, but the awards went largely to the mother of all epic films, GONE WITH THE WIND.

| | One Night At Mccool's DVD (2001) Widescreen
Goodbye, Mr. Chips review
$16.89 
The title refers to the night when three men, Randy (Matt Dillon), his cousin Carl (Paul Reiser) and Detective Dehling (John Goodman), all meet Jewel Valentine (Liv Tyler) at a bar called McCool's. Actually, they don't so much meet her as fall under her spell when they first lay eyes on her. In her clinging red dress she looks like a cross between a beautiful damsel in distress and the Lady In Red looking for John Dillinger. The story begins with Randy, desperate to be rid of Jewel, hiring a sleazy hitman, played by Michael Douglas in an outré toupee. His story of how Jewel led him to ruin, filmed in a stylized flashback bathed in blue, is mirrored by Carl talking to his therapist--played with a delicious verve by Reba McEntire, and Detective Dehling talking with a priest; each telling their own stories of obsession with Jewel. Tyler is clearly beautiful, but it's the evil, scheming side of ...

John Ford's memorable screen version of John Steinbeck's epic novel of the Great Depression--often regarded as the director's best film--stars Henry Fonda as Tom Joad. After having served a brief prison sentence for manslaughter, Joad arrives at his family's Oklahoma farm only to find it abandoned. Muley (John Qualen), a neighbor now nearly mad with grief, tells Tom of the drought that has transformed the farmland of Oklahoma into a desert and of the preying land agents who have plowed under the shacks of the sharecroppers. Joined by former hellfire preacher Casy (John Carradine), Tom finds his extended family, including Pa (Charles Grapewin) and his indomitable Ma (Jane Darwell), packing their ramshackle truck to seek work in the fields of California. As the family treks across the country, their dissolution begins with the deaths of Tom's grandparents at close intervals. When they arrive in California, the Joads find only an abundance of poverty-stricken migrants like themselves and little in the way of potential work. Yet, ever resilient, they maintain their dignity, hoping for the best.
Among the talented cast, Fonda does perhaps the best work of his career, as does Qualen in the film's most haunting sequence. Director of photography Gregg Toland captures the suffering and the weathered, luminous nobility of the Joads and the other uprooted, drifting families, creating striking images equal to the best work of Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans. In a stirring film that stands as a ...

Goodbye, Mr. Chips DVD
$21.49
Known for his uncanny ability to communicate with animals, "dog whisperer" Cesar Milan has amazed National Geographic Channel viewers with his capacity to transform even the most unruly dogs into well-adjusted pets. Milan, who has been interested in dog psychology from his youth, owns dozens of dogs himself and has made a career out of exploring pack dynamics. When he encounters dogs in need of intense rehabilitation, he often sends them to the "dog camp" he has established. This is made up of dogs who have been rehabilitated by Milan, and who then help train other dogs to adopt pack mentality and submission. Because he believes that most animal hostility results from lack of proper training, Milan shows loving dog owners how to give their pets the discipline they truly need. Viewers are also treated to his perceptive dog impressions and a series of hilariously neurotic pets. This release contains ...
