Neil Simon's, The Goodbye Girl, is a sweet New York comedy that won over audiences in 1977. It was nominated for five Academy Awards and gave Richard Dreyfuss Best Actor.
As it's a Ray Stark production, it has "that" practiced feel to it, along with another Stark feature, his long-time editor, at least during her later years, the legendary Margaret Booth, as supervising editor, while the film was cut by John F. Burnett.
I once knocked on Ms Booth's trailer door, to meet her and shake her hand. Just so I'd be able to say I'd done it...
For those unaware, look her up.
Warner Archive's new Blu-ray is gorgeous in every respect.
For a film going on 40 years old, it holds up nicely. And if you don't fall in love with young Quinn Cummings, there's no blood moving through your veins.
