GOODBYE,MR.CHIPS

Goodbye, Mr. Chips
MGM, 1969, Color, 151 minutes, ***½
Released November, 1969

Lovely musical adaptation of the popular story stars Peter O'Toole as the mild-mannered English school teacher who falls in love with vivacious dancehall girl Petula Clark. Michael Redgrave, George Baker co-star; Herbert Ross directs.

This film is one of only two in which Petula Clark appeared in the U.S. Not to mention the fact that it is a touching and heart-warming story, even if it does take liberties with the original story.

The song "Fill the World with Love" was included on one of Petula Clark's records (now on a CD).
