Instead he gets back to Ingrid, who, after wasting a lot of expensive gasoline and misting into a lot of high-priced caviar, gets back to Montand. Because everyone in the film registers constant anguish, Goodbye Again will be called a woman's picture-but not, one may lay odds, by many women...
...hero of The Forger is Rufus Griffin, a Greenwich Village painter in his late 20s who makes poor money and worse puns ("All nudes is good nudes"). He falls in love with a rich man's girl friend and, to keep her in caviar and champagne, starts forging old masters. But the caviar turns to ashes in a psychologized unhappy ending.

To celebrate the anniversary of the October Revolution, the Soviet embassy in Bonn last year hired the city's best club, lavished 500 guests with vodka, Crimean champagne and caviar. For the traditional Fourth of July celebration, able U.S. Ambassador Walter C. Dowling, a careerman, could afford only $287-enough to give 360 visitors a pass at trays of simple canapes and a sip of cheap German sparkling wine.
