My Favorite Year**
(US 1982)
MGM-UA/Brooksfilms. 92m.
A drunken ex-swashbuckling star makes a guest appearance on a US comedy TV show, with several misadventures along the way.
A delightfully nostalgic comedy (based on Mel Brooks working with Errol Flynn), with a very good flavour of 1950s New York, and a careful balance of raucous comedy and occasional pathos, which only occasionally veers over the top.

Director: Richard Benjamin.
Starring: Peter O'Toole, Mark Linn-Baker, Joseph Bologna, Jessica Harper, Bill Macy, Lainie Kazan, Lou Jacobi, Adolph Green, Cameron Mitchell.
