My Favorite Year (1982)
(My Favourite Year)
Country: US
Technical: col 92m
Director: Richard Benjamin
Cast: Peter O'Toole, Mark Linn-Baker, Jessica Harper
Synopsis:
A movie matinee idol is due to appear on a TV variety show, and an underling is tasked with the job of making sure he shows up - and sober.
Review:
Something of a farewell film for O'Toole, whose career had stalled in the seventies and who would henceforth be confined to character parts. It's a lot of fun, with the star undermining his own image as a hell-raiser while continuing to 'cut a dash'.
