"Goodbye, Columbus" is a very enjoyable movie that shows movie making transition from large films that are somewhat formulaic in their approach to telling a story, to a small, quasi-independent film that started tackling issues like the sexual revolution.
Possible Spoilers******
It also showed the protagonist (Benjamin)as someone who had been out of the army, hadn't gone to college, and was still trying to find out what he wanted to do. It's also one of the few "romantic comedies" where the boy does not get the girl in the end.
All of these elements make this an interesting and humorous film. While the ending is somewhat clumsy, I appreciate the fact that they were willing to show that not everyone ends up happy.
Good acting all around, too.
