Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939)

Academy Award winners Robert Donat and Greer Garson star in the heartwarming story of the love between a shy teacher and his outgoing wife.

Although Katherine Chipping (Garson) dies far too young, her love inspires Charles Chipping (Donat) to become an exceptional teacher and schoolmaster in this classic story of honor, manners and the joy of a live lived in the service of others.

Donat picked up the Oscar for his performance, while this 1939 classic picked up six other Academy Award nominations (including "Best Picture," "Best Director" and a "Best Actress" nod for Garson).
