Goodbye, My Fancy

Powerful U.S. Representative Agatha Reed (Joan Crawford) returns to her alma mater to receive an honorary degree. Unbeknownst to the college's board of trustees, Agatha was expelled from the school years earlier for participating in an all-night date with a young professor, Dr. James Merrill (Robert Young), who is now the university president. The romantic fires are rekindled when the two meet. 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.
