In this 1930s British classic, an ageing headmaster and professor reflects on his almost 60-year career at a boys' boarding school. Compared with today, Charles "Mr Chip" Chipping is so loveable and his teaching establishment so quaint that you'll be amazed such people and places actually existed. The gentle drama paints a detailed life portrait, going from Chipping's unpromising beginnings as an insecure new staff member to his metamorphosis into a pupils' favourite, and finally his twilight years. The result is an entertaining and sentimental snapshot of a bygone era.

    I liked this film lots. Mr Chips was a very kind and lonely teacher. It was sad when his wife and baby died. But all the boys grew to love Mr Chips and treat him like their favourite uncle. It is a black and white film but don't this this put you off
