At Long Last Love Blu-ray Movie
20th Century Fox | 1975 | 123 min | Rated G | Jun 04, 2013 | Jeffrey Kauffman
Writer-director Peter Bogdanovich's daring experiment in direct-sound musical, AT LONG LAST LOVE is a charming pastiche of superb Cole Porter songs woven together to tell a gossamer tale of life among the idle rich. The romantic roundelay is peopled by a carefree playboy (Burt Reynolds), a madcap heiress (Cybill Shepherd), a Broadway diva (Madeline Kahn), and an Italian gambler (Duilio Del Prete); a pair of wised-up servants (John Hillerman, Eileen Brennan) provide a little perspective.
