The young unbending professor blends into :m older more tolerant Mr Chips who brings back the romance of Vienna and the breathless cloud-hcighls of l11e Alpin. mountains in the p:rson ol the woman who bccorries his \Vi!e. Her gracious prezence and trust in others is epilomized in her own exprcs;;ion, "As long as you believe in )'ourselt, you can go as far as you drc",m". Her lo\'e and lInderslancling and sense of what is fundamentallY b~autiful and conoequential in lite remained as a quiet b~ned¡ction for Mr. Chips as he gre\V old, ane! as a heritage rOl' the b~ys at llrookfield.
