Goodbye Mr Chips

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.
