Hollywood actor Richard Benjamin makes his directorial debut with MY FAVORITE YEAR, a charming, original comedy about the early days of live television. Academy Award nominee Peter O’Toole stars as an eccentric, alcoholic screen idol appearing on television’s hottest show while novice writer Mark Linn-Baker is assigned to watch over him. Director Benjamin takes a loving look at New York in the 1950s and evokes the hilarious quality of the "Golden Age" of television.
