It's impossible not to feel affection for "At Long Last Love," Peter Bogdanovich's much-maligned evocation of the classical 1930s musical. It's a light, silly, impeccably stylish entertainment, and if the performers don't come up to the comparisons they evoke with the genius of Astaire and Rogers, that's not entirely their fault; the studio tradition that developed and nurtured the great musical stars no longer exists, and a movie like this has to be made from scratch.

And he did it behind the wheel of a cherry-red Ferrari 308 GTS wearing a Hawaiian shirt, wry grin and mustache that would make Ron Swanson deeply proud. Back in 1979, CBS executives wanted to find a way to keep their Hawaiian studios open after the epic 12-season run of Hawaii 5-0 came to an end. They hit on the idea about an ne'er′-do-well-with-a-heart-of-gold private eye living the high life after a decade in the service as a Naval Intelligence Officer. But they couldn’t have imagined they were on the b...
