A 5 star golden oldie
By cryptic from Northumberland , 25 Feb 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
This is a black and white classic. If you were to read an outline of the script you would laugh but the acting of Robert Donat as 'Mr Chips' transforms this picture into a marvellous insight into the perceived British Gentleman’s schooldays of the pre first world war. Spanning 60 years it charts the life of an ordinary bemused school master who rises to become the schools head. His acting and make-up makes the picture. Ultimately it is a weepy but along the way it is an enjoyable and humorous tale.- Was this review helpful to you?

(35)A classic film that stands the test of time...
By Katelucy (15 reviews) from Leeds , 15 Oct 2012What a wonderful film. A few giggles, a bit of romance, a few tears.. So it's not in colour, and it's not HD... But it is a fantastic classic, suitable for all ages. Perfect for a sunday afternoon...- Was this review helpful to you?

Goodbye Mr Chips
By NICKJOJO (255 reviews) from Surrey , 05 Mar 2012Whilst the filming is dated and some of the script stilted the story is still superb and the whole experience of watching the film highly entertaining.- Was this review helpful to you?

The Matrix and Star Wars it's not - it's so much better than that!
By ansonort (21 reviews) from London , 29 Jul 2011It's a cliche I know, but they don't make movies like this anymore and what a shame that is. Robert Donat's central performance is simply amazing and the entire story practically reeks of musty old school books, chalk and cabbage! This was Hogwarts long before Ms Rowling was even born - this is the real deal, and the story is so heartwarming, so beautifully balanced between joy and tragedy, so finely tuned that I would think it impossible not to like this film.- Was this review helpful to you?

Doesn't stand the test of time
By a customer , 26 Jul 2011I was disappointed by this film. I find it mawkish and very dated. Robert Donat kept reminding me of Mr Pastry. The schoolboys were caricatures.- Was this review helpful to you?
