[net.movies] Review of MY FAVORITE YEAR

cw (10/25/82)

May I recommend "My Favorite Year"?  It is a very pleasant movie
with a plausible--if actorish--premise, some interesting characters,
and a great deal of polish.  Peter O'Toole is very good, the girlfriend
of the young lead looks like she is from 1954, and Joe Bologna (is that
his name?) looks just like Sid Caesar.  There are many laughs, no
lengthy moral drawing, and thorough ensemble acting.  There is a subplot
that could have been cut (it doesn't resolve itself), but that is a minor
flaw.  I suspect that this may be one that we'll watch again
and again to catch all the little in bits.
