In the 1950s, young TV variety show staff writer Benjy Stone (Mark-Linn Baker) lobbied hard to arrange a guest-star berth for his boyhood hero, ‘30s-era screen swashbuckler Alan Swann (Peter O'Toole). He wound up regretting what he wished for, as his future then hinged on keeping the dissipated, hard-drinking womanizer sober and in line through broadcast night. Wistful and wonderful comedy co-stars Joseph Bologna, Jessica Harper, Lainie Kazan, Bill Macy; Richard Benjamin directs. 92 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English
