James Hilton's classic tale of eccentric school life
James Hilton (1900-1954) was a British novelist who wrote the bestsellers Lost Horizon and Goodbye, Mr Chips.
A gem for all time as fresh as when first published in
1934...Martin Jarvis's performance is magnificent.

I was carried away with Martin Jarvis's brilliant performance - he
gets Chips's nervous little 'ahem's perfectly - that I even started
singing along with 'Jerusalem' which begins every chapter.

Based on James Hilton's classic novel, this Masterpiece Theatre episode is one of many filmed versions of the story of Arthur Chipping and his years as teacher and headmaster at an English boys' boarding school. The story covers 50 years, from Mr. Chips's acceptance of a temporary job as master and his marriage through World War I and then his final tenure. Chips and his wife create a full and rich life within the sheltered boundaries of the school, inspiring students and teachers alike, until tragedy strikes. Martin Clunes does a masterful job as Mr. Chips. This inspiring and heartwarming story of love and transformation will be enjoyed by all ages. Recommended, particularly for public libraries.-Julia Stump, Voorheesville P.L., NY Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
