Goodbye, Columbus- To begin, this movie has a great beginning; it pulled me right into it.This is something not usually seen in movies of this type, so it makes it an unusual, yet pleasant experience.The action scenes are really great. Richard Benjamin played his role great. Ali MacGraw actually caught my interest.
I think Richard Benjamin and Ali MacGraw worked wonderful in Goodbye, Columbus. The great supporting cast includes Richard Benjamin, Ali MacGraw, Jack Klugman, Nan Martin, Michael Meyers (II).
All in all, I would rate this movie an 8.5/10. I would definitely watch this movie again.
I left some information, immages, and video previews of Goodbye, Columbus below.
Summary of Goodbye, Columbus: Philip Roth's novel of Jewish identity and assimilation in the suburbs of New York gets a spirited comic reading in this 1969 film, which marked the acting debut of model Ali McGraw (and who thought that was a good idea?). Actually, she's pretty good as the Jewish princess whose father has made a fortune in plumbing supplies. Richard Benjamin, who went on to become an odd sex symbol of the '70s, had just the right comic twist as the young man who can't overcome McGraw's middle-class morality with his sense of passion and romance. Jack Klugman is outstanding as her hard-driving and unyieldding father. A touchstone film. --Marshall Fine
