## Synopsis

Week-End at the Waldorf is a 1945 American comedy drama film directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring Ginger Rogers, Lana Turner, Walter Pidgeon, and Van Johnson. The film follows the misadventures of several guests and employees of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, including a Hollywood actress (Rogers), a stenographer (Turner), an Air Force captain (Johnson) and a war correspondent (Pidgeon). Its screenplay is based on Vicki Baum's novel Grand Hotel and Baum's subsequent stage adaptation of her novel; both of which also served as the source material for the 1932 film Grand Hotel. Guy Bolton is credited with adapting Baum's play for the film with Samuel and Bella Spewack as screenwriters.
