Arthur Chipping, the Latin master at an English boys' boarding school, is as awkward as he is stubborn. The eccentric schoolmaster lives a full, rich life within the cloistered school, defined by his role as the intellectual shepherd of generations of young students. Then, everything changes. When Mr. Chipping travels through the countryside on summer holiday, he unexpectedly falls in love with the unconventional Kathie (Victoria Hamilton, Mansfield Park). The love and devotion of his new wife ignites his passion and brings him out of his shell, revealing the sensitivity lying beneath his gruff exterior. But after tragedy strikes, Chips' true character is put to the test in the most difficult examination of his life. Ultimately, it is a lesson that will last a lifetime. Goodbye, Mr. Chips is a tender, heartwarming story that spans over 50 years in one passionate life. Portraying the storied Arthur Chipping in James Hilton's classic tale of love and transformation, Martin Clunes (Shakespeare in Love) turns in a bravura performance in a film filled with countless noteworthy turns. Special DVD features include: materials and activities for educators; selected cast filmographies; selected cast list; biography of host Russell Baker: a link to the Masterpiece Theatre Web site; closed captions; and v and described video for the visually impaired. |
