Peter OToole brings life to Goodbye, Mr. Chips
0813-GO-GOODBYE-MR
Actor Peter O’Toole and his leading lady, Petula Clark, dance along the Embankment Gardens, London, on June 20, 1968. The two stars begin filming the movie “Goodbye Mr. Chips” in London.
It’s August and parents everywhere are rushing to buy new clothes and supplies for their children, who are pouting about the summer being over. In an effort to find the “back-to-school spirit” amid all of the chaos, I turned to the movie remake, “Goodbye, Mr. Chips,” for some entertainment. This charming 1969 film about a British schoolteacher in the 1920s is about love, dedication and what drives one person to put teaching above everything else.
