Rating:
The posh St. Gregory Hotel in New Orleans is the setting for this drama based on a popular novel by Arthur Hailey. Trent (Melvyn_Douglas) is the long-time owner who realizes that the hotel is in dire financial straits. Trent calls on faithful manager Peter McDermott (Rod_Taylor) to try and bring about the necessary reversal of fortune so that they can stay in business. After the Duke (Michael_Rennie) and Duchess (Merle_Oberon) of Lanbourne check in, the Duke is involved in a vehicular homicide after he has too much to drink. His car is traced back to the St. Gregory by hotel detective Dupere (Richard_Conte), who blackmails the Duke. Although not on the same level of Grand_Hotel, the film contains first-rate performances from a fine cast portraying a variety of eccentric guests. Dan Pavlides, Rovi
