THE GOODBYE GIRL 45th Anniversary

Under Herbert Ross' deft direction, Marsha Mason and Richard Dreyfuss work wonders with Neil Simon's original screenplay in THE GOODBYE GIRL. Centered around a woman and her daughter who are forced to live with a difficult stage actor, this Best Picture-nominated film rises on Mason and Dreyfuss' palpable chemistry (both Mason and Dreyfuss were nominated for Academy Awards, with Dreyfuss winning). A sparkling example of the romantic comedy genre that spawned countless inferior imitators, THE GOODBYE GIRL is the rare film that's simultaneously funny, touching, and intelligent.
