Richard Kiley sings "Night of My Nights" from the musical "Kismet" Music A. Borodin book Lederer and Davis.
3.88 min. | 4.77 user rating		 In memory of the late great Bea Arthur and the equally talented Richard Kiley. "A brokenhearted widow (Beatrice Arthur) attends a high-school reunion and runs into an old boyfriend (Richard Kiley). In the intervening years he has become a successful doctor while losing nothing of his old charm! Soon enough she finds herself swept up in the excitement of an affair with her old flame. But there is an unpleasant snag to her new romance: her beau is involved with a much younger woman! As the relationship progresses, both her and her Doctor paramour must face the problems of love in one's golden years. A light and humorous romantic comedy. My First Love reminds us that one is never too old to fall in love." Enjoy! Cheers! PS Yes you will see Bea's character wearing a lot of Dorothy Zbornak's outfits from Golden Girls. This film was in production in 1988 and Bea's clothes on Golden Girls were custom made for her, so I imagine the costume or wardrobe people might have been the same? : )
