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 in some ways. Burt Reynolds and Cybil Shepherd are no singers, but are not all that bad either. Dulio Del Prete is annoying though. JOhn Hillerman, Eileen Brennan and Mildred Natwick are all fun to watch. Peter Bogdanvich directed this homage to the musicals of the 1930's. 16 Cole Porter songs are used in it. I do enjoy the whole cast singing Friendship in the limo. The art deco set is beautiful looking and the technicolor is as well. The cast sang these songs live on film and that was the big mistake. 120 minutes of singing and dancing. The comedy is funny at times but a little dated. But as I said its great to see a movie with Madeline Kahn singing and dancing.
