Amongst those movies that aim to use straightforward human drama alone to tell a thoughtful story, \"Goodbye, Mr. Chips\" is one of the finest. Robert Donat\'s performance gives you not just one character to remember, but several, as he convincingly portrays Chipping\'s different personas at different stages of his life.

Greer Garson is also excellent in her role, and Paul Henreid gets some good scenes as well. These relationships and others throughout the movie make for a believable and memorable portrayal of the title character, and also of the world in which he lived. The story is well-written, and it includes a very good variety of material, showing the characters dealing with everything from eager anticipation to grave concern, from blissful joy to great sorrow, and much in between.

The panorama from generation to generation also works well, showing both change and stability as time passes. While only a handful of scenes contain weighty material, all of it is thoughtful, and much of it memorable. It keeps everything balanced and believable, and it\'s been a good while since any movie of its kind has worked so well.



Enjoy and Seed!!
