U.S. Congresswoman Agatha Reed (Joan Crawford) learns with surprise that she is to receive an honorary degree from the college that expelled her 20 years earlier for staying out all night. Traveling to the college with her secretary, Woody (Eve Arden), Agatha looks forward to reuniting with her old flame, former professor Dr. James Merrill (Robert Young) -- now the college president.

Audience Reviews for Goodbye, My Fancy

Jan 25, 2014

Something different for Joan playing a congresswoman who spends a weekend at her old college on a bittersweet journey. Originally intended for Rosalind Russell who had to bow out at the last minute, the part and Crawford aren't a perfect fit but it's nice to see her try something different. She does a good job and is surrounded by an excellent cast although Frank Lovejoy is likewise not an ideal choice for his role. While all the performers do well two really stand out, Eve Arden is her usual sharp self as Joan's Girl Friday but it's Lurene Tuttle who steals every second of her screen time as a seemingly flighty old chum who is more than meets the eye. Mixed in with the romance are some trenchant points about censorship and the fallacy of memory.
