yep and one of my favorite comedy too and that seem to get good and good each time i catch it . that title year be 1954 and young tv comedy show writer ( linn baker ) get assign a the chaperone to former and swinging and and heavily drink swashbuckler movie star on the downfall ( otoole ) for one wild weekend in nyc . loving and glorious comedy nostalgia that be both a dreamy eyed glance at old time movie matinées and stardom as well a a smashingly production detail ode to those seemingly innocent and care free day of the 1950 and it dawn of television . bullet pace and aloof like a sitcom ( or a marx brother movie ) and with nonstop parade of quotable line and caricature like character that make it ideal for multiple viewing . and a mystery why it seem so overlooked and not rightly revere a one of the best comedy of the 1980 . the star of otoole shine at it bright and but down to the small role and it cast to utter completion . which make me ask represent what ever happen to mark linn baker and joseph bologna . positive from ozjeppe .
