Goodbye Mr. Chips 1969 Official Trailer: A shy, withdrawn English schoolteacher falls for a flashy showgirl.
My Favorite Year Trailer: Peter O’Toole gives a knock-out performance as Alan Swann, a booze-loving former matinee idol who is forced into making a live appearance on a variety show to appease the IRS. Mark Linn-Baker plays the fledgling writer for the show who must keep Swann on the sober and narrow.
