My Favorite Year

My Favorite Year is a movie staring Peter O'Toole with an amazing cast in this movie set in the heyday of live television.  Mark Linn-Baker stars as a writer for a live comedy show charged with seeing that the current weeks guest, Peter O'Toole, stays sober and makes his appearance on the show.  Peter O'Toole plays a famous movie star (reminiscent of Errol Flynn), who is doing his best to work against Mark Linn-Baker while mentoring him at the same time.  Mark Linn-Baker is torn between his star struck attitude and the disappointment of seeing that same star more human though further down the scale than he would have thought.

This is a witty, humorous, comedic and classically funny movie.  The interplay of the plots and sub plots work well and there are several memorable lines that come from the movie.
