Trivia:
Originally cast in the lead roles were Rex Harrison and Samantha Eggar, who were replaced by Richard Burton and Lee Remick. When MGM opted to replace Remick with Petula Clark, based on her reviews and Golden Globe nomination for Finian's Rainbow (1968), Burton balked at playing opposite a "singer" rather than an "actress", so Peter O'Toole was cast instead. more
Quotes:
Headmaster:
Chippings' waiting for his wife, I think.
Headmaster's Wife:
[skeptical] His wife?
Sutterwick:
Flabbergasting. Who on earth?
Wife:
Who on earth indeed?
[hoots]
Wife:
It's what we've all been asking ourselves ever since we heard the news.
Headmaster:
It's apparently someone he met on one of his excursions to the ancient ruins of Pompeii.
Wife:
Somewhat of an ancient ruin herself, no doubt.
[chuckles]

Yes 1939/Robert Donat-Greer Garson version was the best...Perfection..Donat won the Oscar in a very tough year..Gable in GWTW & James Stewart as Mr. Smith. were 2 of his competitors. .wow was that a rough year.. Most critics in NY hated this version. so.didnt see in theatre! Finally saw this A.M. on TCM & enjoyed..Peter O'Toole was excellent & glad he was Oscar nominated for this,,& esp pleased Oscar finally gave him a special award this past year... Petula Clark was good as Mrs. Chips but her character,i feel was poorly written...Some good songs esp. You & I... sung by Ms.Clark & later recorded by many others including T.Bennett/S. Bassey & Carmen MacRae.... the b&w version was more authentic.. but this is a good film beautifully photographed in color & panavision... enjoyable worth seeing & Bravo, again, Mr. O'Toole!
