Also viewable in bit roles in The Flamingo Kid?

Marisa Tomei in her first credited role, a full 8 years before My Cousin Vinny..

Bronson Pinchot, the same year as his turn in Beverly Hills Cop as Serge..

Steven Weber, a full 6 years before Wings..

And don't forget Leon as Fortune, almost 10 years before Cool Runnings..
Garry Marshall hasnt done many I like. He certainly knows how to make money. I guess Overboard was OK "velveta" mostly because of Goldie and the pill pushing shrink

His sitcom work (The Odd Couple, Mork & Mindy, Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley) is among the best in television history and gave rise to a peck of outstanding writers/directors including his own sister Penny and Ron Howard. On the big screen, it's hard to argue with his effort helming Pretty Woman.
