Enjoyable Neil Simon dramedy. Four stories of guests at a luxury hotel. Think Grand Hotel or even Simon's earlier Plaza Suite. The stories vary in quality but none are bad. None are terrific either. Most people seem to like the Pryor/Cosby story the least but I think it was my favorite. The cast is all good. Maggie Smith winning an Oscar in real life playing an actress who fails to win an Oscar in this story is Hollywood at its fakest. The 1970s was a great period for films like this. If made today it would be too serious or too silly but this finds a good mix.
