Neil Simon’s “The Goodbye Girl” (1977) was a classic comedy that earned Richard Dreyfuss a much-deserved Oscar for Best Actor. It came against a tremendous challenger in Woody Allen in the lead role in his own “Annie Hall” which won the Best Picture Oscar over The Goodbye Girl. It also earned Diane Keaton the Best…
