My Favorite Year (DVD)

Volgens hemzelf een van zijn favoriete films. Gebaseerd op `jeugd` herinneringen van Mel Brooks - Engelse ondertitelsGeen Nederlandstalige ondertiteling. King Kaiser's Comedy Cavalcade goes on in minutes: But guest star Alan Swann is exiting the building. Fast. "I'm not an actor. I'm a movie star!" he bellows in stark fear. He just found out the show is 'Live'!Directed by Richard Benjamin and inspired by incidents from comedy legend Mel Brooks' early career, My Favourite Year is a Golden Age revisited, a zany, misty-eyed tribute to TV's early days. Peter O'Toole plays Swann. Once a swashbuckling movie idol whose face was plastered on fan magazines, Swann is now mostly plastered. And it falls to Cavalcade's rookie writer (Mark Linn-Baker) to keep him on the sober and narrow. Don't touch that dial.
