Movie Connections:

References Casablanca (1942)

Movie captures the village atmosphere of Grand Hotels.

I didn't even want to watch this movie, but once it caught my attention I couldn't get away. It's basically about all the different characters you can find in a hotel, all bumping into each other as they do what they do. You get a feel for all the sideshows going on in a hotel.
