The exterior of Repton School was used to represent the fictional Brookfield School in both the 1939 and 1969 films Goodbye, Mr. Chips and the 1984 BBC television drama version of the story, originally written by James Hilton. Around 200 Repton boys stayed at the School during the holidays in order to appear as extras in the 1939 film.

Famous quotes containing the word film:
“The woman’s world ... is shown as a series of limited spaces, with the woman struggling to get free of them. The struggle is what the film is about; what is struggled against is the limited space itself. Consequently, to make its point, the film has to deny itself and suggest it was the struggle that was wrong, not the space.”
—Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)
