Movie Info

Weekend at the Waldorf is an unabashed remake of MGM's 1932 Oscar-winner Grand Hotel: in fact, at several points in the story, the cast makes pointed references to the earlier film.

I wanted to check-out early, even though the Waldorf-Astoria certainly has its charms.

Fluffy remake of Grand Hotel, on its own enjoyable but a mere patch on the original.

A lovely film from MGM in 1945. Lana Turner, Van Johnson, and Ginger Rogers shine in this story of various people staying for a time at the famous Waldorf-Astoria in NYC....a gem!
