Do you love watching Peter O'Toole? Do you love the expression "he has a twinkle in his eye"? Do you love watching Peter O'Toole turn what could have been a smarmy movie star trope of a role into a fully flushed out character that you actually root for who has a twinkle in his eye? Then My Favorite Year is the film for you! Check out this nostalgic and sweet-hearted classic about a larger than life movie star and the comedy writer who has to keep him on the straight and narrow during his week-long stint on a live New York variety show. Based on the real life writer's room for Sid Caeser's Your Show of Shows, this movie was produced by Mel Brooks and co-stars Mark Linn-Baker, Lainie Kazan, and Joseph Bologna. Host, Sara Greenfield and her guest Andrew Appel chat about all this and more on this week's episode of Talk Classic To Me.
