This hit movie had a very troubled background! It originally had Robert De Niro as the leading man and Mike Nichols as the director (it was loosely based on Dustin Hoffman's life as a struggling actor, and supposedly the studio turned down Hoffman for the lead!). There were major differences between De Niro, Nichols, and writer Neil Simon, and then two weeks into filming, De Niro and Nichols were fired! Other actors were then candidates for the lead role including Jack Nicholson, James Caan and Tony Lo Bianco. Finally, Richard Dreyfuss was brought in to test opposite Marsha Mason and Neil Simon liked their chemistry, so Dreyfuss was cast and Herbert Ross was brought in as director, and ultimately, the movie proved to be a big hit!
