Good-Bye Mr Chips

Mr Chipping is a quiet unassuming teacher at Brookfield Grammar School who follows a strict routine. Until he meets Katherine who charms him and his students and tells Mr Chipping that education is more than simply the hours spent in the classroom. Mr Chipping develops a sense of humour and a broad view of his job as a teacher and a friend to his students as his love for Katherine grows and he becomes known to generations of schoolboys as Mr Chips. Goodbye Mr Chips spans four decades from the Franco-Prussian War of the 1870s to Hitlers rise to power in the 1930s and shows how love and a sense of humour can triumph over all.
