The first film adaptation of James Hilton's British school saga, Goodbye Mr Chips is a genuine Hollywood classic. Despite competition from Gone with the Wind, The Four Feathers and The Wizard of Oz (all 1939) the film won a Best Actor Oscar for Robert Donat and six further major nominations. Donat, who had previously starred in Hilton adaptation Knight Without Armour (1937), is superb as a beloved public-school Latin teacher in an episodic tale spanning 1870-1933. From initially incompetent young teacher, he meets his wife (well played by Greer Garson) during an extended idyll in Austria, only to endure the horror of former pupils becoming victims of the Great War.
Sam Wood directs this classic romantic drama starring Robert Donat and Greer Garson. The young Mr. Chipping (Donat) is appointed as the new Latin teacher at Brookfield Public School in 1870 and leads a rather mundane life until he meets and falls in love with suffragette Katherine (Garson) on a walking holiday in the Alps some years later. She finally brings him happiness as they marry and move to England together, but tragedy is looming for the beloved Mr Chips. The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Writing, Screenplay and Best Director with Donat winning the award for Best Actor in a Leading Role.
