Neil is a poor Bronx librarian and Brenda is a pampered Jewish American princess from Westchester. Benjamin and MacGraw are superb in their debuts as the lovers who try to cross class lines amidst kisses and her parents' stiff opposition. One of the most appealing, poignant comedies ever produced. Transplanting Roth's first novella from late 1950s suburban New Jersey to late '60s Westchester County, New York, director Larry Peerce (The Other Side of the Mountain) and screenwriter Arnold Schulman (Love with the Proper Stranger) retain the bite and humor of Roth's observations of the Jewish American middle class, and the resulting film was a critical and financial success. In addition to the screenplay, the performances of Benjamin, MacGraw and Jack Klugman (TV's The Odd Couple and Quincy, M.E.), as well as the title song by the Association, were nominated for numerous film awards. This lush, Technicolor cinematography is credited to Gerald Hirschfeld (Last Summer and T.R. Baskin). For this first-ever Blu-ray of Goodbye, Columbus, the film has been remastered from a new 4K scan of the film's original 35mm camera negative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBonus Materials\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage gallery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglish subtitles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-sided wrap with legacy artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio commentary by Bill Ackerman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBooklet with new essay by Jim Healy (first pressing only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew video interview with composer Charles Fox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchival video of post-screening on-stage conversation with cast and crew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"item-imagecol\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"item-imagecol\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"item-imagecol\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"item-imagecol\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"item-imagecol\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"item-imagecol\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"item-imagecol\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"item-imagecol\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"item-imagecol\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"item-imagecol\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"item-imagecol\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"item-imagecol\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"item-imagecol\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"item-imagecol\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"item-imagecol\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"item-imagecol\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MVD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45195583684652,"sku":"760137198390","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0359\/2201\/8348\/files\/goodbye-columbus-new-blu-ray.jpg?v=1785770564"},{"product_id":"strange-new-worlds-science-fiction-at-defa-region-b","title":"Strange New Worlds: Science Fiction at DEFA (Region B)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6 pr-md-5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6 pr-md-5\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the division of Germany in the aftermath of World War II, DEFA was established as the state-owned film studio of East Germany or the German Democratic Republic (GDR). Active from 1946 until its dissolution in 1992, the studio made hundreds of feature films in a diverse range of genres, from hard-hitting dramas to crime thrillers, fairytale adaptations and Westerns. During the 1960s and 1970s, it also produced a series of colourful and wildly imaginative science fiction films in which courageous cosmonauts attempt to unravel the secrets of the universe: \u003ci\u003eThe Silent Star\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSignals: A Space Adventure\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e Eolomea \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e In the Dust of the Stars\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on Stanisław Lem’s \u003ci\u003eThe Astronauts\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Silent Star\u003c\/i\u003e begins as an extraterrestrial object is unearthed in the Gobi desert.
