Watch: Goodbye, Mr. Chips 1969 123movies, Full Movie Online – Arthur Chipping (Peter O’Toole) is an academic teaching at Brookfield Boys’ School outside of London in the 1920’s. Although he does what he considers best for his students, they don’t much like him, nicknaming him “Ditchy”, short for “dull as ditch water”. His life changes when he meets Katherine Bridges (Petula Clark), a music-hall actress with a questionable past. She affectionately calls him Mr. Chips. Despite their differences they fall in love. He realizes that their relationship will have many obstacles to overcome. He doesn’t particularly like the world she’s part of, including her friends and profession, and she doesn’t exactly fit the mold of a teacher’s wife. They decide to get married and she foregoes her career to be Mrs. Chips, living on campus at the wife of a teacher at a proper boys’ school. She needs to learn the rules, or at least bend them to her sensibilities, although she vows to never embarrass him. Katherine’s arrival at Brookfield might change Chips’ standing at the school. Further changes ensue for the Chips and Brookfield with the onset of World War II..
Plot: Academy Award-honoree Peter O’Toole stars in this musical classic about a prim English schoolmaster who learns to show his compassion through the help of an outgoing showgirl.

Hail Rattigan
Terrence Rattigan, who authored this screenplay at a time when he was out of fashion (and he still is), did a wonderful job renovating and updating James Hilton’s sentimental novel, and his screenplay, and the playing of Peter O’Toole and Petula Clark, save the movie. Rattigan emphasizes the love story and carefully shows how Chipping, seemingly stiff and unemotional, has great reservoirs of tenderness and gallantry. It’s a love story of two very different people who not only complement one another but bring out unforeseen qualities in each other: She teaches him to care, and he teaches her to function outside her shallow theatrical surroundings. O’Toole is as touching as Robert Donat in the original, and Clark, with less to play, is lovely and sympathetic and in superb voice. Of course, most of Leslie Bricusse’s songs are dreadful, and O’Toole’s no singer, and the internal-dialog nature of most of them (they don’t advance plot, they don’t define character, they just tell you what the protagonists are thinking) slows the action down. But with Rattigan’s excellent touches, a splendidly showy supporting performance by Sian Phillips (then Mrs. O’Toole), and some eye-filling Oswald Morris photography, it’s a love story you can weep copiously through–I know I did–and have a wonderful time doing so.
