- ''My Favorite Year'' has a slight sentimental streak, as Swann longs for his missing little daughter and as Benjy finally lectures the star about pulling himself together. But these touches are relatively light, and they're far outweighed by the film's period glossiness and its pleasantly cornball humor.

Oct 8, 1982 · Featured review. My Favorite Year. Hilarious film about a Sid Caesar-like comedy series where the special guest is a legendary swashbuckler movie idol who is more known for taking to drink, than for his acting credits. O'Toole shines as Alan Swann, the swashbuckler on his first live television series.

My Favorite Year, a slight but sweet backstage comedy, now provides three levels of nostalgia: for the era of swashbuckling stars like Errol Flynn; for the golden age of TV that supplanted it; and for the presence of Peter O’Toole. Read More. FULL REVIEW. 75.

Where you loved all the characters, adored each scene, and laughed at every joke, even after you'd seen the film so many times that you could quote the dialog?
Jan 9, 2014 · My Favorite Year is one of my favorite comedies. It's not only quite funny it also oozes nostalgia. It was written by Dennis Palumbo and Norman Steinberg, and is based on real people and events; although exaggerated versions to be sure. It's a wonderful homage to the Golden Age of Television.
