GOODBYE, COLUMBUS. Larry Peerce is a director with a lamentable sense of style and a laudable way with actors. Although his version of Philip Roth's 1959 novella of young love in suburbia sometimes lurches out of control, Richard Benjamin and stunning Newcomer Ali MacGraw save the show with finely shaded performances...
