The Sunshine Boys (1975) ***
George Burns won a well-deserved Oscar (Best Supporting Actor) for this excellent film (his first since 1939).
At Long Last Love (1975) ***
A pastiche of 1930's musicals, with classic songs by Cole Porter sang (atrociously) by Burt Reynolds and Cybill Shepard (and only passably by Madeline Kahn). It ranks with "Colleen" (1936) and "The Pirate Movie" (1982) as the "worst" (in the best sense) musical of all times. Songs:
"Tomorrow" **
"Which" *
"Poor Young Millionaire" *
"You're The Top" **
"Find Me A Primitive Man" *
"Friendship" **
"But In The Morning, No" **
"At Long Last Love" *
"Well, Did You Evah ?" **
"From Alpha To Omega" *
"Let's Misbehave" *
"It's De Lovely" **
"Let's Misbehave" (reprise) *
"Just One Of Those Things" *
"I Get A Kick Out Of You" *
"Most Gentlemen Don't Like Love" **
"I Loved Him (But He Didn't Love Me)" *
"A Picture Of Me Without You" **
"Tomorrow" **
"Which" *
"Poor Young Millionaire" *
"You're The Top" **
"Find Me A Primitive Man" *
"Friendship" **
"But In The Morning, No" **
"At Long Last Love" *
"Well, Did You Evah ?" **
"From Alpha To Omega" *
"Let's Misbehave" *
"It's De Lovely" **
"Let's Misbehave" (reprise) *
"Just One Of Those Things" *
"I Get A Kick Out Of You" *
