Small Hotel*
GB 1957. ABPC. 59m. bw
The shady veteran head waiter at a small guest house manages to manoeuvre his way out of being dismissed.

Written by: Wilfred Eades, from the play by Rex Frost.
Producer: Robert Hall.
Director: David MacDonald.
Starring: Gordon Harker, Janet Munro, Marie Lohr, John Loder, Irene Handl, Billie Whitelaw, Francis Matthews, Ruth Trouncer.
Photography: Norman Warwick.
Musical Direction: Louis Levy.
