It wasn't often that Marius Goring got to take centre stage with a part, but he does it here - and he does it quite well, too. He is the pernickety school master "Perrin" who finds his nose a little out of joint when he is saddled with new man "Traill" (David Farrar). This latter man is perfectly civil, but is also a man who speaks his mind and who isn't prepared to wait half an hour for a bath in the morning, or bother who reads "The Times" first either. "Perrin" finds this behaviour all a bit disrespectful and soon the pair at at loggerheads. Meantime, the headmaster "Moy-Thompson" (Raymond Huntley) is a bit of a stickler for authority, and an act of kindness from "Perrin" sets them on a collision course - one that engenders some sympathy from "Traill" (and from us, too). What's fairly clear now is that the older man is on a slippery slope. His life revolves around his teaching and though we do learn a little of a tragic backstory, it's the present day and the uncertainties it brings him that seem to be influencing his increasingly erratic behaviour. When "Traill" announces his engagement to "Isobel" (Greta Gynt) that seems to be the final straw - but is there nothing that can be done to reconcile the two men? It's got plenty of the "Mr. Chips" story to it, and there's a decent bit of chemistry between the two, equally frustrated, men in the title as the story unravels a little less predictably than you might expect. Huntley is also quite effective as the odious headmaster, too and the story is well enough paced to keep an element of suspense as to the denouement going til near the end. It's a decent adaptation of the Hugh Walpole novel and worth a watch.
