GOOD-BYE, MR. CHIPS (1939) 321 Selznick took a heavy risk in presenting a picture that lasted 220 minutes, but the film vindicated his judgment. The picture ran away with most of the Academy awards for the year: it was chosen the best production; Vivien Leigh won the award as the best actress; Hattie McDaniel, as the best supporting actress; Victor Fleming, for the best direction; Sidney Howard, for the best screen play; and awards went to it for the best art direction and best film editing. David O. Selznick received the Thalberg Memorial Award. His pecuniary reward has been a gross intake thus far of thirteen million dollars. Here is a spectacular scene from Gone With the Wind, the burning of Atlanta, one of the costliest and most exciting sequences ever made. BELOW M-G-M filmed James Hilton's novel Good-bye, Mr. Chips in England in 1939. Sam Wood went over to direct it, and did a splendid job. Robert Donat, as Chips, gave one of his best performances, and his make-up, as you can see, was a triumph. This film introduced Greer Garson to the American motionpicture public. With Donat, in the scene above, is Terry Kilburn, who also turned in a fine performance.
