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!

Some posters were stored in a tri-folded fashion, but where someone took a group of posters and then tri-folded the entire group. This means that many of the posters have only a slight "waviness" one third of the way from the top and the bottom of the poster, but they are not actual folds. They are normally not very noticeable at all from the front of the poster, but they can be seen from the back of the poster, and they mean that the poster does not lay 100% flat. These "waves" greatly diminish if the poster is put under weight for a time, and become almost completely invisible. Most collectors consider them a very minor defect, much less of a defect than actual foldlines. Also note that this poster will be shipped rolled in a tube. Condition: very good.
