This is my favorite movie of all time. Peter O'Toole does a fantastic job, playing Alan Swann, the drunken past-his-prime actor. My favorite line in the movie is when Alan says, "I'm not an actor, I'm a movie star." Mark Linn-Baker is wonderful as Benji, who must convince Alan to go through with a performance before a live audience.
Directed by Richard Benjamin and inspired by incidents from comedy legend Mel Brooks' early career, My Favorite Year is a Golden Age revisited, a zany, misty-eyed tribute to TV's early days. Academy Award® recipient* Peter O'Toole plays Swann. Once a swashbuckling movie idol whose face was plastered on fan magazines, Swann is now mostly plastered.
