Peter O'Toole steals the show (making it look like he does it with ease) as an Errol Flynn type actor in the 1950's trying to juggle his career, pride & respect with his alcoholism. Mark Linn-Baker does a fantastic job at holding his own against O'Toole's flamboyancy as a young Mel Brooks type of character. It's a fairly simple movie that isn't outrageously funny but it's portrayals and charm is what makes it what it is: a chuckle-filled comedy with top-notch performances.
