Peter Bogdanovich .The film, with a
screenplay by Bogdanovich, is a homage to the great Hollywood musicals of the 1930s such as "Swing Time " and "Top Hat ", and features 16 songs with music and lyrics byCole Porter .The film is set during the 1930s and is evocative of
Noel Coward 's play "Private Lives ", featuring mate swapping among the very rich. The film is unique as it is the first movie since the early 1930s in which the musical numbers were recorded live, without the actors lip-synching to a previously recorded soundtrack.The film opened in March 1975 to scathing reviews and poor box office returns, prompting Bogdanovich to have an open letter of apology printed in
newspaper s throughout the U.S."At Long Last Love" was acclaimed as one of the worst films ever made in Harry and
Michael Medved 's "" (1980).To date, there has never been a home video release of the film in any format.
