Again."; "Thank you, Neil Simon, for Marsha Mason"; "Thank you, Neil Simon, for Richard Dreyfuss"; "Thank you, Neil Simon, for 'The Goodbye Girl'"; "Written by Neil Simon"; about two struggling actors who work in the theater, and one has a ten year old daughter, and they hate each other, but they are forced to share an apartment, and naturally, they fall in love; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Richard Dreyfuss (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Marsha Mason (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Quinn Cummings (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film; billed as "Introducing Quinn Cummings as Lucy"), Barbara Rhoades, and Paul Benedict. 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 these stills appear in every way to be original U.S. release EXCEPT that there is one very tiny line of French type in the lower right of each still. It reads, "IMPRIME AUX ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE". A collector has told us that he believes this means the stills were printed for use in areas that included French-speaking parts of Canada, but that they WERE printed in the U.S., and that makes complete sense to us (and we have seen this on stills from the 1940s through the early 2000s, so it has certainly been done for an extremely long time)! So they are original stills from 1977, but they were printed partially for use in French-speaking Canada. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
