Goodbye, Mr. Chips
He is a shy schoolmaster. She is a music hall star. They marry and immediately have 283 children...all boys!
Directed by Herbert Ross
Produced by APJAC Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer British Studios
A warm, nostalgic musical romance about a reserved schoolmaster transformed by love and human connection, set against the backdrop of English boarding school life and wartime.
Academy Award-honoree Peter O'Toole stars in this musical classic about a prim English schoolmaster who learns to show his compassion through the help of an outgoing showgirl. O'Toole, who received his fourth Oscar-nomination for this performance, is joined by '60s pop star Petula Clark and fellow Oscar-nominee Michael Redgrave.
