I Ought to Be in Pictures (1982) – DVD | Walter Matthau | Ann-Margret | Neil Simon Comedy
She hitchhiked from New York to Hollywood to find her father. He didn’t even know she existed. Based on Neil Simon’s hit Broadway play and directed by Herbert Ross, I Ought to Be in Pictures is a warm, funny, and deeply touching 1982 comedy-drama starring Walter Matthau as a down-on-his-luck Hollywood screenwriter whose life is turned upside down when his teenage daughter — whom he abandoned years ago — shows up on his doorstep determined to become a movie star and reconnect with the father she never knew.
Also starring the wonderful Ann-Margret as Matthau’s girlfriend and Dinah Manoff in a scene-stealing performance as the daughter, this is a Neil Simon gem that balances laughs with genuine heart. A must-own collectible DVD for fans of Walter Matthau, Neil Simon, and classic 80s comedy-drama cinema.
