Six-time Oscar-nominated romantic classic about a staid schoolmaster whose heart is thawed by a beautiful young woman. Robert Donat ("The 39 Steps") received an Oscar for his moving performance. Oscar-winner Greer Garson ("Mrs. Miniver," "Madame Curie") received an Oscar-nomination as the woman who steals his heart. Co-starring Paul Henreid ("Casablanca"). Recently selected by the prestigious American Film Institute as one of the greatest American films of all time and added Arthur Chipping to its' list of 50 Greatest Heroes.
A good story, script, acting. Quite realistic as per educational setting. There is a noticeable lack of scripture where it ought to be. Mere human reasoning and "luck" are insufficient for difficult demands during war. Robert Donat gives a more believable performance than the actor in the later re-make. Greer Garson does very well. A good addition to anyone's dvd library.
