Good-bye, Mr. Chips' Movie

*ing Peter O'Toole and Petula Clark. My favorite version of this movie.

The movie's plot is about a British school teacher named Mr. Chipping and revolves around his life as he conquers his inability to connect with his students as well as his shyness; his marrying Katherine, an outspoken young woman he meets on holiday, who's personality and background clash with the rigidness of the school atmosphere.
