GOODBYE MR CHIPS

[Amazinblue58]

This is the first movie I ever attended. My mother took me to the Post Theater in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1939 to see it. As the years go by I have learned to love it more and more.

[mouflette48]

it was a great movie

thanks for remembering

[TLSUk]

Does anyone know what the music is that is playing at the very end of the film, when he says hes had thousands of children, and all boys?

[timsan55]

Fantastic movie and a reminder that they don't make so many good ones now.

thanks for putting this up.

[awaissidd]

i live in pakistan and this novel is included in our 11th standard english text book.

This movie was magnificent in all respects. Just imagine-Robert Donat in '39 was facing the stiffest competition ever for the Best Actor Oscar, including Clark Gable for "Gone With the Wind" and WON IT. And by no accident either. The film was tender, compelling and something to see over and over again.

[griffin324]

@39rc6cf he was also up against jimmy stewart for mr. smith goes to washington. what a year for acting.

[mindspring57]

What an idyllic time the Victorian period was, compared to what has transpired since. It is a shame that Europe had to commit suicide through the First World War.

[swollower]

Has anyone got the film? (complete I mean!) It would make my day!

[thephantom1946]

@swollower I have it on DVD. You can get it through Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

[swollower]

@thephantom1946 Cheers Phantom I have started looking already!

[ahenmaxtae]

i heard this song in the last ever episode of Due South and came searching for it... seems like you're a fan of due south yourself! that last episode had me in tears, especially when this song played.

[redhotmountie]

@ahenmaxtae Yes, you are absolutely right, I am a fan of Due South and like yourself, I loved this song when I first heard it in the last ever episode of Due South. I have 2 Due South CD'S and this beautiful song is on one of them.

[DanHappy2]

i recently bought a vinyl record from an antique store in australia , just three dollars . it was a collection of poem narrated by robert donet., with big picture of him on the cover which i intend to frame and hang on wall. he had such a beautiful speaking voice and was a brilliant actor. i also love ronald colman.

[redhotmountie]

Two wonderful actors who both acted with that equally wonderful actress Greer Garson. Sadly, the likes of which we will probably never see again.

[FionaLiddell1]

@DanHappy2 I totally agree that Robert Donat had a extraordinary beautiful voice and you are so fortunate to have him reciting poetry I am envious of you, wish I had that collection

[mrschriswalken]

great tribute.heaven is a richer place for these two beautiful people.

[redhotmountie]

Thank for your kind comments. Goodbye Mr Chips with Robert Donat and Greer Garson and Random Harvest with Ronald Colman and Greer Garson will always be two of my favourite films. They just don't seem to make these films anymore which is a shame.

[thephantom1946]

Yes redhotmountie, his Chipping is the best one of all. No remake comes close. I only wish I could have seen him on stage, since theater was his favorite medium. But since he only performed in the UK, this american, would never have been able to see him since he was taken from us much too soon.

[thephantom1946]

I've always loved Robert Donat, such a superb actor, beautiful voice, gorgeous man. Thank you.

[redhotmountie]

I totally agree a superb actor and no else could play Mr Chipping as he did, he made that role his own, although there has been many remakes of this film there will only be one Mr Chipping and one Goodbye Mr Chips worth remembering.

[ThreeWordsFirstWord]

fabulous film and fabulous actor.. taken from us far too early!

[redhotmountie]

I totally agree, a truly classic film and sadly a quality actor taken from us far too early.

[ThreeWordsFirstWord]

Absolutely, but we must be grateful for the truly fantastic films that he left in his wake !

[AsdaGay]

sos but he best version.

[taterfrog]

Nicely done redhotmountie ! A great movie and I am taken by the beauty of the music you chose. A good presentation. Robert Donat was a North Star actor. He was just PERFECT. Greer Garson always impressed me as a true lady. She was above the rest. Her poise and posture simply stated " CLASS."

[redhotmountie]

Thank you for your very kind comments. Greer Garson is one my all time favourite actresses. As you quite rightly stated she was simply "CLASS". Random Harvest is another of my all time favourite films, just simply "MAGIC"

[chopin65]

It was on TCM today. It was wonderful.

[redhotmountie]

A true classic. There has been a few imposters over the years but the magic and charm of the original film will never be surpassed.

[colinsmyth99]

*****

bravo

[redhotmountie]

Thank u kindly

[tripsadelica]

Wonderful work...I agree...This is the way all teachers should be but can't...The modern world discourages caring.

[pannaljunction]

A great movie showing how British schools should be, but are not, thanks to "modern ideas" and political correctness.

Today, MR Chips would be in court for "child abuse" !!!

[stanleymoon]

A curse on those who caused this Wonderful film's removal from Uchoob, I had such a nice night watching it, for goodness sake it's so old, newspapers have given the DVD of it away free!

[TOMSERVO745]

i am only 13 and i love this movie, does that make me weird?

[redhotmountie]

No, it most certainly does not instead it shows you have good taste in movies. Thank u kindly.

[chopin65]

No! It makes you a very intelligent and normal 13 year old. In my opinion you are on the right tract.

[BadKisa]

@TOMSERVO745

That makes you special...

[swollower]

@TOMSERVO745 only because you have good taste for one so young! keep it up.

[39rc6cf]

@TOMSERVO745, not weird at all. In fact, just the opposite. You're intelligent with exquisite taste. Congrats on being so savvy at such a young age.

[jayeevee]

@TOMSERVO745 no its a brilliant film ...you just have great taste

[classicmovies11]

I've been wanting to see this film for ages and this week I'm seeing it on TCM! And by the way, Greer Garson was born in 1904 and died in 1996.

[redhotmountie]

A truly beautiful movie,they just don't seem to make movies that this anymore and thank you for the info about Greer Garson's DOB

[redhotmountie]

Thank u kindly

[54spiritedwill54]

wonderful thx for posting

[redhotmountie]

Thank u kindly

[Choupettefilm]

it's not too bad but I doesn't really like this song. I don't speak english very well sorry ^^

[susan2410k]

What about the lovely Greer Garson with Ronald Colman in "Random Harvest" ? Another magical love story. Wish someone would post clips of that on here-if they have I haven't found them yet.

[redhotmountie]

I have already made a 'Random Harvest' video,please watch it and let me know what u think of it. It is one of my all time favourite films,also unsurpassable.

[susan2410k]

Beautiful Greer Garson-what a star & Robert Donat as well. Great movie.

[redhotmountie]

A true classic,simply unsurpassable

[1928javier]

This film never fails to move me to tears, it ends, and I feel manipulated like a puppet, but what a wonderful feeling it is! Mr. Robert Donat is superb in the role and with Ms. Garson makes this film an experience to come back to, over and over again!

[redhotmountie]

A timeless classic,simply unsurpassable

[26mae1987]

greer garson was one of the beautiful talented actresses EVER legand and mr donat way deserved the oscar for the film! (some people thought that clark cable should have won for gone with the wind)(i DONT)LOL beautifully made, and the film itself is sooooooooo sad lovely!

[redhotmountie]

I totally agree the film is simply unsurpassable. Another of my favourite Greer Garson films is Random Harvest with the dashing Ronald Colman also unsurpassable,sadly they don't seem to make these type of charming films anymore.Thank u Kindly

[26mae1987]

no they dont! because they have soooo many bad movies with people who cant act when greer and betty davis were acting they had to fight for roles! now its bad and bad! and good films people dont really want to see! its sad!

[namroc69]

very well made,wd.

[redhotmountie]

Thank u for your kind comments

[VutecVision]

I didn't know Mr Donat died so young, only 53, very sad, but what a fantastic actor he was, and of course the beautiful Greer Garson, a truly lovely film, thank you for posting this!

[redhotmountie]

Thank u kindly,Although there has been many remakes since this film was made but none i think have truly captured the beauty and charm of the Robert Donat/Greer Garson film

Unsurpassable

[modgirl64]

wonderful thx for posting

[redhotmountie]

Thank u Kindly I'm pleased that u liked it

[waeld123]

Thanks a lot Redhotmountie. This is a great movie for all of us to remember. For sure Greer Garson and Robert Donat left us with an experience that will stay with us forever.

[redhotmountie]

THANK U KINDLY,I AGREE WITH YOU

[blueplanet06]

[redhotmountie]

THANK U KINDLY
