Title: It would have been my favorite year, too
Review: In the 1950s, a young TV writer (Mark Linn-Baker) must keep his childhood hero, the matinee idol Alan Swann (Peter O'Toole), sober long enough to make his appearance on a live comedy program. Not surprisingly, both men are the better for the experience.This wonderful comedy is a love letter to the golden age of live television and the quirky personalities that proliferated there. It is also a touching coming-of-age film that made me feel nostalgic for a time that I never experienced. One can probably say that there is more quality on TV in this age of Tivo, DVD, and a thousand cable channels (in real numbers, certainly not as a percentage of programming produced), but this film successfully captures the energy and excitement of a time when the whole country was watching the same thing at the same time and it was happening NOW. A delight from start to finish.
