- Beidh me ag chailleann tu, Peter. I shall miss you.
This is my tribute to Sherborne School in Dorset, England, narrated by Peter O'Toole. O'Toole and Robert Donat starred in the 1969 and 1939 versions, respectively, of "Goodbye, Mr. Chips" based on the classic James Hilton novel.
The book and both films immortalized British boarding school life (two more were produced in recent years for British TV). Sherborne School, which was founded in 1550, was the setting for the fictional Brookfield Academy at which the character Arthur Chipping ("Mr. Chips") served as headmaster in the 1969 musical film adaptation.
The songs "When I Am Older" and "Fill The World With Love", which are featured in this video, were written by Leslie Bricusse and John Williams. Petula Clark and Peter O'Toole, along with the boys chorus at Sherborne School, perform "Fill The World With Love".
I don't think I have been able to keep my eyes dry each time I watch this classic. No shame, either, for old men are allowed to cry!
As a boy I was in the film "Goodbye Mr Chips" what happy memories
I can imagine. I wish I'd been there too. Were you a student?
No I was in the cast of the film, partly filmed at MGM in Borehamwood and on location in Sherborne@@VidBrats
@@carrington2158, please share any memories you have, either in direct response to this or as a separate post. I’d be most grateful.
Hi what would you like to know
Love this film , Goodbye, Mr Chips -- and Peter O'Toole and Petula Clark xx
goodbye mr. chips-the great Peter O' Toole
Being a master at Sherborne School is such a privalege.
This was my father's favorite film. I saw it when I was 9 years old
I have worked at a military museum for 38 years and will retire shortly. After giving my all at the Museum this film has a special meaning to me
Your father and I agree. I saw the premiere in Tokyo in 1969 when I was 14 or so and fell in love with it (and Petula Clark). My father was in the Army and we were stationed there at the time. This song in particular is my favorite.
God what a privilege to have been a student at that school. It can't be measured.
My most favorite film of Peter O toole.Goodbye Mr.Chips. R.I.P.
As a High school senior in 1969, my Humanities class saw Goodbye Mr. Chips. It's been my favorite movie to this day. Thank you so much for this delightful tribute to this beautiful movie. Have a good life. Richard
Richard, thank you for your kind words. It was truly a labor of love.
I finally found this song!!!"Did I fill the world with love",,,Thank God!
So beautiful & I love both versions of this film...Robert Donat & especially, Peter O'Toole bring brilliance to the title role, as do all the supporting cast! Thank-you for this!
From point 6.30 to point 8.07 ,is one of the most beautiful scenes of movies in all my life.
How a beautiful life to wake up every morning on a beautiful voice like that.
Mr.Chips was so lucky.
RIP Mr O'Toole - and thank you
Simply beautiful. England at it's total best
I have never seen this tribute before. It is exquisite. I nearly missed the last half because of my tears. I can hardly see the keyboard. Thank you so much VidBrats. Best 11 minutes I've had for a long time. I will share this with MrMarrs.
Same here🥺This movie ('69) has always been my favorite. I was eleven when it was new. It is perfect in every detail-- the gorgeous music, story, scenery, writing, production-- and the cast is perfect. For me, this wonderful movie exemplifies good-heartedness, devotion, purpose, and the fleeting nature of our lives. The song, "Fill the World with Love," is a beautiful prayer and reminder to us of what's important through it all. "And the greatest of these is Love." 1 Corinthians 13:13.
When I saw this film in 1969 I was in Junior High school and, like the boys of Brookfield, I admired Mr. Chipping/Peter O'Toole and even, vicariously, feared him just a bit. But I loved Mrs. Chipping/Petula Clark just like all of the boys in Brookfield. It's been a lifelong crush. Thanks for posting.
P.S. I always thought that Peter O'Toole should have taken over as Dumbledore when Peter's friend, Richard Harris, passed.
We were both about the same age. I was fortunate to have seen it in all its glory in Cinerama shortly after it premiered at the Toyo Theater in Tokyo. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this. Beautiful.
I would love to see this version of movie again ..its the best

We speak in call...
In cod3...
Utilizing the world's comparative mythologies and religions as backdrop...Remember, "all the world's a stage..."
We have evolved our own unique...language drawing from archetypal and hierarchical models..."I WILL ACHIEVE MY GREAT AMBITION..."
That is Mr.Beans there,on point 6:56,
Yes,Rowan Atkinson in his young years.
Please someone post this movie!
Correction so noted. Thank you. To paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of his demise are greatly exaggerated.
Unfortunately, since I posted this comment Peter has passed on.
The boy after 9:30 looks like Neville Longbotttom
Is that steam locomotive still in regular use? It would be nice to think it was.
I'm not certain. It's been nearly a decade since I did this video.
Yes its still in use today!
Where are the documentary/interview segments taken from? I'd love to know.
Oliver, from MGM media licensing. O'Toole and Clark's commentaries were originally recorded for the entertainment press by the publicity department for the film's initial promotion campaign.
VidBrats Where did you get hold of them. Are they available online anywhere? I'd love to hear them in full.
Oliver, it's been so many years since I made this. I couldn't put my hands on the recordings right off. Probably on one of my hard drives. Unfortunately, you're unlikely to find it online anywhere. If I do locate them, I'll see if I can post them somehow and give you a heads-up alert.
Ah, that would be great! Thanks ever so much. I'll have a look around for them too. Perhaps they were included as extras on the DVD?
It appears that there was a special 3 CD edition of the soundtrack released as an edition of Film Score Monthly and that there were some interviews contained on the additional discs in the set. Perhaps that's where you found them? Here's a link to it on Amazon where someone in the comments describes the content of the set: amzn.eu/9DFctOa
All that look like Hogwarts School of Witchcraft And Wizardry......castle included
Is Sherborne School an example of English patrician excellence or oppressive elitist oligarchy?
Gods rest Peter

He was the best,till today!
