I found this at our library, and what a gem!! How on earth did I every miss this film? Since I am a retired English teacher and a fan of the classic "Goodbye Mr. Chips," I was truly touched by Kevin Kline's work in portraying this instructor's strengths and weaknesses. In today's cruel climate of lying, name calling, making fun of those with certain challenges, being above the law, and epidemic apathy and ignorance, I think this movie should be shown in classrooms all over the country because its uplifting message is indeed timeless.
