Review of Goodbye, My Fancy (1951) by Lee Anne W — 22 Apr 2011
Journalist turned congresswoman Joan returns to her alma mater (from which she was expelled) to receive an honorary degree, secretary Eve Arden (yay!) in tow. Her college love, professor turned president of the college, Robert Young, soon to become the Father who Knows Best, is conveniently widowed. A Richard Nixon-y Frank Lovejoy plays a "Life" magazine photographer, who's been in love with Joan since the war. Joan gets involved in campus politics involving the board of trustees, conveniently headed by the husband of Joan's college roommate.
All of this is supposed to be a romantic comedy. It isn't much of either, but it's not horrible.
Film 46 of 81.
