The Goodbye Girl

Elliot Garfield arrives in Manhattan to take the acting role of his life only to find that ex-chorus girl Paula McFadden and her young daughter, Lucy, occupy the apartment he's renting. Paula's ex-boyfriend has abandoned her, sublet their apartment--to Garfield--and left Lucy and Paula without a job or a place to live. Although Garfield has legal claim to the apartment, he can't throw the mother and daughter out. So, despite Garfield's eccentric ways, the three form a home and soon discover that love means never saying good-bye.
