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!

Important Added Info: Note that we have taken a picture of the cover of the presskit and four of the stills (less than four if the presskit has less than four stills, of course). We have noted if the presskit contains any supplements, but we do not picture them. All of the presskits are sealed and ready to be sent, and we cannot answer any questions about the contents, especially about what any stills we may have not pictured show. REMEMBER TO LOOK AT THE TOP OF THIS AUCTION TO SEE HOW MANY STILLS ARE INCLUDED WITH THIS PRESSKIT, BECAUSE WE NEVER PICTURE MORE THAN FOUR OF THEM (and we pretty much picked four stills at random). Condition: very good to fine. Note that the vast majority of the presskits we are auctioning this week were carefully stored away for many years, and the stills are usually in really excellent condition. Sometimes the folder that contains the stills has some wear on it, and you should be able to see that in our super-sized image. We give an overall condition grade to each presskit, but remember that almost all of the stills are in excellent condition. Learn More about condition grades
