This love letter to the golden days of live television in the 1950s is a thinly veiled depiction of Your Show of Shows, the groundbreaking comedy show that starred Sid Caesar. The story, set in 1954, focuses on one of the writers for the show (Mark Linn-Baker), who is given the task of chaperoning that week's guest star, a famously ill-behaved movie star named Alan Swann. He's based on Errol Flynn and played with Oscar-nominated glee by Peter O'Toole. He also happens to be the writer's movie hero, but proves to be a hilariously drunken party animal, one who opens the naive young writer's eyes in a variety of ways. The highlight of the film is Swann's visit to the writer's outer-borough home and his encounter with the writer's star-struck mother (a delightful turn by Lainie Kazan). One of the better films directed by former actor Richard Benjamin. -Marshall Fine

Ok it is not really my favorite movie, but it is a really good one. Peter O'Toole gives a great performance. You'll laugh and enjoy this heart warming tale about the week a TV producer spends with the past-his-prime actor. Just a great classic.

A charming, feel-good movie, based, I believe, on a memoir. Memorable characters, just a great film! Recommend it highly!

`My Favorite Year' is simply a very funny, very touching movie about an aged film star who is stuck in the past. He's fallen into a life of drunken debauchery, but when he is given the opportunity to appear on a variety show he shows up, ready for action.
The film follows one of the shows writers, Benjy Stone, as he chaperones this actor, Alan Swann, making sure he doesn't do anything too hazardous before filming the show. Benjy practically worships Swann the actor, but he finds that ... Read More

It is a shame that this movie is no longer in print. The movie takes us back to the early days of tv. Peter O'Toole is our Error Flynn type character who is a "movie star and not an actor". Writing in the movie is so clever I still quote lines from it years after I saw the original.

My Favorite Year is one of my favorite films of all time. I loved it as a kid and it's one of the few releases I can describe with the words "good clean fun." It's a shame that Mark Linn-Baker didn't become a bigger star, but, like the character of Mr. Swann, Peter O'Toole never had a finer moment than on the frames of this classic (in my view). We know the fifties were not as remembered here, but any harkening to a golden age like this one should make us all smile. Its romance is compelling, joyous, ... Read More
