My Favorite Year (1982) starring Peter O'Toole, Bill Macy, Joseph Bologna, Mark Linn-Baker. O'Toole stars as washed-up, booze hound matinee idol Alan Swann, who is forced by financial considerations to make an appearance on a live comedy-variety TV show in 1954 New York. The unknown actor Mark Linn-Baker plays a junior writer whose job it is to make sure that Swann shows up for rehearsals and his appearance on the show. Made in 1982 and set in 1954, this movie feels dated, but O'Toole's performance is vintage quality. Grade: B
