Simon's best dialogue revolves around genuine emotion. He's the only screenwriter dealing consistently with familial issues. He's working toward something more lasting than gags. Pictures is a step in that direction.

The only unique virtue of screenwriter Neil Simon is to modernize characters of the conservative comedies of the 1920s and 1930s. [Full Review in Spanish]

El Pais (Spain)
I Ought to Be in Pictures is a slender but endearing Neil Simon comedy-drama, reflecting the human side of the prolific writer.

Sneaky GREAT !!!
Movie Lover: MARK DEMOS from
WI US -- September, 18, 2017
Every once in a while, you watch a random film, and hours, days, weeks, a lifetime later, it's one you find you just never forget.
This, for me, is one of those films.
Flying under the radar, and IMMENSELY underrated, this one quietly showed up in 1982, and then seemed to be gone and forgotten about by just about everyone.
Though it did have a video (vhs) release, criminally, it was never released on DVD.
But now, the little film that could, is FINALLY available on DVD, as part of 20th Century Fox's Cinema Archives series.
Maybe, just maybe, the rest of the world will now slowly catch on to this sneaky little gem of a movie, and find themselves remembering it hours, days, weeks.......or even a lifetime later.
