Mr. Saturday Night (1992)
Ambassador Hotel Production Notes
27 December 2004 - 3 out of 9 users found this review helpful.
Mr Saturday Night was one of the 1,000 movies shot at the former Ambassador Hotel. Billy used the old Cocoanut Grove for a number of nightclub scenes. In one scene, it was a Catskills' night club: in another scene, a television studio. He also used the kitchen for some other scenes where Billy and David Paymer's character interact.
It was interesting that Billy chose the hotel for his nightclub scenes as it was a fixture in old Hollywood for variety acts and much of the social foundation in the old studio days. During the production, he was focused on the history of the place and seemed to enjoy the atmosphere it created for the scenes.
He came back to the Hotel to shoot a number of scenes from HBO's *61.
