"From your review of Goodbye Again:
With her beauty? To me, it is perfectly sensible.........she is
magnetic, she is sophisticated, she is sad - a handful for what I
thought, was the "loutish" Yves Montand - He looks so beefy during the
dinner party scenes. And though she is dressed in Dior - she looks
dowdy, in my eyes, in Philip's mother's world. Plain, even. Isolated
- I think, her beauty isolates her. It always puts her the slightest
bit out of reach. From Roger, from herself. From Philip, too.
Anyway, the ending was typical of its time. What would Susan Sarandon
make of that role I wonder?"
The above email is anonymous and appears to have come from someone who
read my review of "Goodbye Again", which has been on someone's classic
film site for years. It could be a co-incidence that I've just started
a discussion here.
What do you all think?
Dowdy?????Hmmmm!!!! NOT!!!!! I think Ingrid looks elegant in the Dior
outfits and we have to bear in mind that they are circa 1960.
Plain?????Ingrid plain?????? NEVER!!!!!!!!
I do agree with one point - her beauty isolates her. Ingrid has class
and thus she appears to be unattainable, though only in some of her
films. There's plenty to discuss here, I think!!!
Always For Ingrid!!!! Mary
