Goodbye, Columbus
Every father's daughter is a virgin.
Directed by Larry Peerce
Produced by Paramount Pictures, Willow Tree
A wry romantic comedy-drama about class and cultural differences within Jewish American life, built on the tension between attraction and incompatibility.
A Jewish man and a Jewish woman meet, and while attracted to each other, find that their worlds are very different. She is the archetypal Jewish American Princess — very emotionally involved with her parents' world and the world they have created for her, while he is much less dependent on his family. They begin an affair which brings more differences to the surface.
