The Goodbye Girl-A Gem of a Movie

Pure Entertainment
I finally managed to go down memory lane on this classic movie, "The Goodbye Girl".

Based on a Neil Simon play, this movie centers itself upon the lives of three main characters in an apartment in New York. It is a gem of an outing that plays on the rough edges of  love of the main players and the stressful breakups that can affect an innocent child.

Joy of New Love
Built around witty dialogues with Quinn Cummings as the precocious prima donna daughter Lucy, Marsha Mason as Paula-the unfortunate Good-bye Girl and Richard Dreyfuss as Elliot the Johnny-Comes-Lately actor that came into Paula's life, it testifies that love can stay and grow. All you do need is faith and trust.

Truly unpredictable, you will enjoy this one every time you go down memory lane.

Meditative Humour
And then there is that most unforgettable song by David Gates of the film title worth savouring time and again.

Smart-alecky Ten-Year Old Kid
I enjoyed this one!
