Movie Reviews of Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1969)
Movie Review: We Want a DVD of this Film
Summary: 5 Stars
Definitely one of the under rated films of all time. This film is heart warming, the musical numbers are truly wonderful, the acting is wonderul. I, like many of the other reviewers here truly would love to see this film in its entirety (including the number "When I was Younger" that Chips sings on stage after finding out that he has been passed up as headmaster). Only once have I seen this film in its entirety. There is one other clip that is missing from the VHS tape. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have on the DVD not only the full film, but: (1) a commentary done by Peter O'Toole and Petula Clark. (2) Clips of scenes that were cut. (3) From the complete CD that was released (THANK YOU!) we know there are clips of interviews with Peter O'Toole and Petula Clark while on the set. One example is back on Oct 19,1968 Ed Sullivan interviewed Peter O'Toole and Petula Clark while on the set of GMC. (4) Stories about what happened on the set. (4) Interviews with some of the boys that stayed at the school during their break. (5) A photo montage. (6) Interviews with the cast that is still alive. Anyone that loves the music from this film should buy Petula Clark's DVD of Petula Clark: At the Turn of the Century (you can buy it here on Amazon). It is a concert she did five years after making "Goodbye Mr. Chips" and includes "Fill the World with Love" and "You and I". The arrangement is just as it was in the film. I highly recommend it. Lastly, my mom and I saw Petula Clark perform at Epcot in Florida on May 4, 2007 and she sang "Tomorrow with Me" which was pulled from the film and replaced with "You and I". I did not know it was from the film until after my trip and I finally finished the CD of "Goodbye Mr. Chips". Please whoever owns the rights to this film please, please, please put it on DVD.
Summary of Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1969)
GOODBYE MR. CHIPS - DVD MovieRobert Donat won an Oscar for his portrayal of the humble British don in the 1939 film Goodbye, Mr. Chips--and Peter O'Toole was nominated for his version of the role in this lackluster musical (he, along with Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight of Midnight Cowboy, lost to John Wayne in True Grit). O'Toole is affecting as the shy English schoolteacher at a private boys' school who is brought out of his shell by the love of a good woman, then goes on to become a teaching legend after her tragic death. But the idea of turning this touching tale into a musical (with totally forgettable songs by John Williams and Leslie Bricusse) was almost as wrong-headed as having O'Toole do his own singing--or as casting singer Petula Clark as his wife. --Marshall Fine
