I took an American Lit class taught by an inspiring professor whose name unfortunately escapes me. His course offerings were a veritable stew of literary styles. I recall reading Henry James' "Daisy Miller" which spawned an underrated film by Peter Bogdanovich. I also recall reading Thomas Berger's "Neighbors" starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd that was generally reviled by the critics(I liked it, though). My impressions of "Goodbye, Columbus" is it is painstakingly faithful to Philip Roth's novella. Your opinion of the film I think depends on how much you liked the book. I like the film and the book. My only quibble here is that the principal actors, though ideally cast, may have been a tad too old for their parts. Richard Benjamin is superb as the Bronx librarian returning from a stint in the Army only to fall head over heels with a girl whose value system he finds contemptible. Ali MacGraw gives a sympathetic account of the spoiled preppie because you feel that she acts the way she does only because she's been programmed to do so. The attraction between the two is more than physical. Despite their protestations, Neil and Brenda possess character traits that the other finds desirable. The question you ask will the pull of their respective social classes accept this relationship or find it unacceptable and pull Neil and Brenda apart. The film is rich in Jewish color but the scenario that unfolds here could apply to any tightknit ethnic group. A real gem has been made here from a fine literary source. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Movie *by R***Z on Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2024* Fun movie regarding dating and sex adventures between a rich girl and a common guy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Another burned dvd but Columbus still good *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2022* I think you can tell by my pic accompanying my review that this ‘purplish’ disc is a burned dvd and more times than not my DVD player will not play the movie unless I allow my player to ‘read’ a non burned dvd first.Once with my License To Kill (James Bond) burned DVD I could not get to play at all and The Hand (Oliver stone early movie with Michael Caine) it took a second Amazon delivery and about 4 more tries to get the Hand to play…)ButI had to let another movie play before getting Goodbye, Columbus to play and I’m kinda getting tired of receiving burned purplish discs and basically holding my breath in the hope it plays. And the customer shouldn’t have to pay 20$ for a burned dvd.Anyways, As for pic (when it finally played second try) it was good. Goodbye, Columbus is a very practical and realistic light comedy romance through the eyes of a rich and one not wealthy Jewish couple. The movie does have something to say about double standards and hypocrisy and elitism. Yes, comparisons to The Graduate are inevitable while the ending leaves even less to debate (as compared to happy(?) ending in the Graduate).In her first starring role Ali McGraw is fetching and flirtatious (always thought she was not so good in The Getaway, for one example) and Richard Benjamin (Love At First Bite) does a really good job as basically the star of the movie (like Dustin Hoffman in the Graduate).I actually purchased The Last Of Sheila to see him (Richard Benjamin—also directed, see My Favorite Year) Interact with a top notch murder mystery cast—but that’s another review.Goodbye, Columbus (an Ohio State reference): a not so simple as it sometimes appears, comedy, questionable love in the making, social commentary.Not surprisingly Jack Klugman is good as a wealthy, uncouth and judgmental father.4.2 stars. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/209329462-goodbye-columbus](https://www.desertcart.at/products/209329462-goodbye-columbus) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
