Movie Info

Peter Bogdanovich's attempt to direct a homage to the great musicals of the 1930s is now remembered as one of the embarrassments of the 1970s. The film's thin plot, standard for the genre, centers on the romantic entanglements and misunderstandings among six stock characters: the bored playboy (Burt Reynolds), his never-ruffled valet (John Hillerman), the debutante (Cybill Shepherd), the Broadway diva (Madeline Kahn), her gambler boyfriend (Duilio Del Prete), and her maid (Eileen Brennan).

This Cole Porter coloring book, mounted with great expense and no taste, is one of those grand catastrophes that make audiences either hoot in derisive surprise or look away in embarrassment.

The movie's no masterpiece, but I can't account for the viciousness of some of the critical attacks against it.

At Long Last Love never quite sinks, but then it never leaves the pier.

This foolish attempt at re-creating the lush musicals of the 1930s offers fabulous art deco sets, memorable Cole Porter songs, and slick production values, yet it goes down like a stricken elephant.

But as they say, when all you have to recommend in your musical is a hairy chest, you're in trouble.

It's an indulgent movie -- Peter and Cybill having a lark with their friends -- but it's also a neat parody of '30s musicals.

Cole Porter fans, steer clear. Actually, everybody steer clear.

Burt Reynolds and Cybill Shepherd sing and dance...badly! But the lively supporting cast and the art deco production design deserve merit.

Glue footed travesty that makes a mockery of the very films it sets out to honor. Bogdanovich has seemingly no understanding of the genre and even if the cast were better the film would still be deeply flawed. A very few performers acquit themselves without shame, unsurprisingly they are old pros Mildred Natwick, John

Excellent set and costume design.These are the only "plus" this movie will get. This attempt to pay homage to the 1930's was a very ambitious move.I love the decade choice.
