Goodbye, Mr. Chips is a 1939 romantic drama film starring Robert Donat and Greer Garson, and directed by Sam Wood. Based on the 1934 novella of the same name by James Hilton, the film is about Mr. Chipping, a beloved aged school teacher and former headmaster of a boys' boarding school, who recalls his career and his personal life over the decades. Produced for the British division of MGM at Denham Studios, the film was dedicated to film producer Irving Thalberg, who died on 14 September 1936. At the 12th Academy Awards, it was nominated for seven awards, including Best Picture, and Donat, for his performance as Mr. Chipping, won the award for Best Actor.

Production

The AFI Catalog reports that Thalberg purchased Goodbye, Mr. Chips from galley proofs; he originally assigned Sidney Franklin to direct. After Franklin became an MGM producer, Sam Wood replaced him as director.

David Lewis said that the film was developed by Irving Thalberg as a vehicle for Charles Laughton and that Lewis suggested that R.C. Sherriff should write the script. However, when Thalberg died, it was reassigned to Robert Donat and Lewis was replaced by an English producer.
