Only mature adults will understand what this film is about, and mature teachers, above all, will certainly find this film very inspiring. This movie exemplifies what the teaching profession should be; not standardized testing or begging for money from the state for various programs. It is, by far, my favorite teacher film, and for good reason. Teaching is about one on one assistance; taking care of each and every student under your auspices. Teaching classes is fine, and group work is fine, but ultimately, it comes down to how you can help each individual in the class if they need it. Robert Donat does a great job, as does Greer Garson. The film is impeccably directed and the script is amazingly good. Make sure you see this one.
