Sometimes you just want to watch a movie that is not too "deep" from an earlier era like the 1940's. Walter Pidgeon is the absolute stand-out here. Surprisingly funny and yet combined with a no-nonsense attitude, his performance easily stands-up to Ginger Rogers' iciness (until of course she melts). The other star of the movie is the Waldorf Hotel itself. It's absolutely fascinating to see the inner workings of what must have been state-of-the-art hospitality service. Lastly, although I'm not a big fan of either Lana Turner or Van Johnson, they're both effective and touching. If you're looking for art this is not it, however, if you're looking for something pleasant this will certainly do.
