Goodbye Again

Ingrid Bergman shines in this splendid romantic drama set in the posh precincts of Paris, playing a middle-aged interior decorator caught between two lovers, opposite in age, ethos, and temperament: Yves Montand as a jaded, philandering French business executive, and Anthony Perkins as a rash young American romantic who spends his time driving aimlessly through the City of Light. When Bergman tires of Montand's assignations with his endless string of mistresses (all called Maisie), she succumbs to Perkins, a wealthy client's son who is almost half her age and shows her nothing but devotion. Elegantly coiffed and coutured, Bergman is magnificent, and Perkins, fresh off Psycho, stays out of the shower but can't do without an overbearing mama.
