Good-bye, My Fancy is the next film in the free NCC film series for winter/spring 2018, which will screen on Thursday, March 1 at 6:30 p.m. in the East Campus Forum Theater. In an era loaded with films that featured roles for women that were complex, nuanced, and quite challenging, evidenced by the work of Elizabeth Taylor, Joanne Woodward, Barbara Stanwyck and Kate Hepburn, Good-bye, My Fancy features the immortal Joan Crawford in one of her best-ever roles. __________

This little-seen film from 1951 was directed by the talented Vincent Sherman and features Crawford as a congresswoman who returns to her alma mater to receive an honorary degree. Did I mention that her old boyfriend will also be there, who also happens to be the college president? Conflict, anybody?
