Viewing Notes

A must-see but viewing is enhanced because its shot on location at Hotel del Coronado, a marvelous old resort on Coronado Island. I recently visited the hotel 2 years ago during the Christmas holiday. It was great seeing the decorations and just being in such a historic place. So cool to see it onscreen again (last was the Duovision flick Wicked, Wicked). Steve Railsback is terrific here as is Peter O’Toole, such a delight. Barbara Hershey is gorgeous. Excellent film.
