Week-End At the Waldorf (Rogers & Turner) DVD – New Hot on Sale

1945 film starring Ginger Rogers and Lana Turner.

Welcome to New York s posh Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Your suite is waiting — and so are romance, glamour, comedy and drama played with great flair by an all-star cast. A remake of Grand Hotel updated to the waning days of World War II, Week-end at the Waldorf follows the fortunes of a lonely movie star (Ginger Rogers), an on-the-make stenographer (Lana Turner), a wounded flyer (Van Johnson), a war correspondent (Walter Pidgeon), a wheeler-dealer (Edward Arnold) and a gossip columnist (Robert Benchley) whose lives crisscross over two days of martinis, mistaken identities and marriages real and faux. The film s big budget (every dime shows on the screen) paid off handsomely: Week-end became one of 1945 s biggest hits.
