At Long Last Love is an American motion picture musical that was released in 1975 and was directed by 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 by Cole 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 newspapers throughout the U.S.
At Long Last Love was acclaimed as one of the worst films ever made in Harry and Michael Medved's The Golden Turkey Awards: Nominees and Winners, the Worst Achievements in Hollywood History (1980).
To date, there has never been a home video release of the film in any format.
