The title story of Philip Roth's novella Goodbye, Columbus (1959) is the subject of the 1969 film of the same name, directed by Larry Peerce.

Neil Klugman (Richard Benjamin) is a highly intelligent, working class, graduate of Rutgers University and earns a living as a library clerk. He falls in love with Brenda Patimkin (Ali McGraw), a wealthy student at Radcliffe College. The consequent obstacles that they face from Brenda's family, (particularly her father portrayed by Jack Klugman) due to differences in class and assimilation into the American mainstream, create the central conflicts of the film.
