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

Glitzy and overdone with too many plotlines but still enjoyable in a soap operaish way. Good cast do what they can with unchallenging roles, Merle Oberon is decked out in some great outfits and gravity defying hair! And any hotel lucky enough to have Carmen McRae as their lounge singer is some place worth checking in to.
