Peter O'Toole is excellent in this pleasant coming-of-age comedy.

A delightful evocation of 'fifties TV, and a grand vehicle for Peter O'Toole, who tears up the screen with relish (not to mention a good amount of ham!)

a fairly decent fictionalized version of errol flynn's appearance on a 50's sketch comedy show that pulls together a charming script and a handful of good laughs along the way to it's absolutely sensational climax. it can get a bit drab and underwhelming, yet always maintains a consistant watchability.

A scene in the middle of this cracked me up when I was a teenager, but I've barely thought about it since.

The humor flops around a little in the beginning, seeing as they throw us right into the (highly dated) variety show. Most of the amusement comes from getting to know these characters later on. Some of the dramatic dialogue in the final third of the film is very on-the-nose as well. Otherwise it's a good, funny film.

Very charming and funny movie. These '50s nostalgia pieces never mention Korea or McCarthy, but I don't mind the preservation of the good parts of that era
