At Long Last Love

At Long Last Love may be far from a great musical, but it stars the great Madeline Kahn and that is the reason to give this film a chance. It was a big flop in 1975. It is clumsily filmed... Full review

I love "At Long Last Love"! I really think the enmity displayed by critics at the time was most probably personal given Mr. Bogdonovich and Ms. Shepherd's public relationship. People wanted them to fail. I think the main problem people... Full review

This movie is one of my all-time favorites! I saw it three times in the theater and thankfully was able to record it during a rare TV broadcast. I watch it at least once a year.The costumes and set design... Full review

This film was widely misinterpreted at the time of its release. As the other commentator on this page mentions, Bogdanovich not only used non-professional singers, but the songs were recorded live! Each actor had an earpiece through which they received... Full review

In this attempt to make a new old movie, Madeline Kahn, playing a supposedly famous stage star named Kitty O'Kelly, performs the song "Give Me a Primitive Man" in a supposed Broadway musical (supposedly written by Cole Porter). The number is... Full review

When I saw it in'75 (I was 25 at the time) I walked out of the theater smiling, and sang Cole Porter tunes in my car all the way home. It was a preview, so it hadn't been panned yet... Full review

An homage to 30s musicals, this vastly underrated film features tongue-in-cheek performances by Cybill Shepherd and Burt Reynolds, and terrific comedy turns by Eileen Brennan and Madeline Kahn. Kahn does a great, obscure Cole Porter (all music in this film) called... Full review

There were experiments involved in the making of AT LONG LAST LOVE that have not been adequately appreciated and there were also talents on display that have been trashed.The most powerful experiment was the recording of the vocals as they... Full review

I love this movie, which introduced me to Cole Porter, one of the best, smartest, and wittiest songwriters ever. All of the performers seem to be having a genuinely great time -- and their mood is infectious. I love the... Full review

I saw this film years ago in Radio City Music Hall in NYC and have never been so delighted with a Hollywood treatment of musicals in my life. The sophistication of Bogdanovich's direction I felt caught the real essence of... Full review

The plot of "At Long Last Love" is fairly dumb:....it offers several amusing supporting performances which got overlooked in the critical maelstrom swirling around its disastrous theatrical run.....the film is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a successful endeavor.....the film is plotless, foolish....Although Martin Scorsese pulled a credible performance from her in "Taxi Driver" the following year, "At Long Last Love" killed any attempt to establish her as a movie star..... ...

It's impossible not to feel affection for " At Long Last Love ," Peter Bogdanovich 's much-maligned evocation of the classical 1930s musical. And if he doesn't go spectacularly right, at least he provides small pleasures and great music. ... Full Review

Saturday, April 11th 2009 at 3:44am Class consciousness is mightily confused in this Cole Porter and Rowland Leigh work from 1938. In this tuneful comedy, master and servant, maid and mistress all switch places-and an amorous muddle results. ... Full Article

A great big, fat Christmas bird of a film from director Bogdanovich. It's not that the notion of a romantic, pastiche of 30's musicals is unworkable, after all, Woody Allen managed to pull it off some 20 years later with... ... Full Article
