Goodbye, My Fancy is a 1951 American romantic comedy film starring Joan Crawford, Robert Young, and Frank Lovejoy.

Reinforcing social changes brought on by World War II and movies portraying women as successful on their own, such as 1945's Academy Award-winning Mildred Pierce, the plot follows an influential Congresswoman who returns to her former college to receive an honorary degree only to find her old flame as the university president.

Matt Cole (Frank Lovejoy), a photographer from Life magazine had been involved with Agatha overseas in World War II - as far as buying an engagement ring before she skipped out on him - believes her feeling for Merrill is simply an unresolved holdover from her girlhood and follows her to the school.

A film Agatha made about the dangers of restricting intellectual freedom is to be shown on campus to celebrate her legacy, but the reactionary Griswold forces Merrill to cancel the showing.

In danger of being replaced, this triggered Sherman receiving a blistering memo from studio head Jack L. Warner: "After talking to you on the telephone last night, Friday, I am depending on you to finish the picture by next Saturday, November 18th [1950].

As you know, MGM made Father's Little Dividend, with Spencer Tracy, Elizabeth Taylor and Joan Bennett in 21 days and I am sure the Director had the same problems you have had.
