Short description

Over the course of several years beginning in the 1950s, a man and his oddball family run hotels in New England and Vienna, as unexpected events change their lives forever.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The soundtrack for the film was intended to be recorded by the British rock band Queen. However, this idea was not realized.
  • Rob Lowe broke his nose during the filming of a fight scene.
  • The film was originally intended to be shot in the summer of 1982 in New Hampshire, specifically at the Wentworth by the Sea hotel, which had closed a year prior. Shortly before pre-production began, director Tony Richardson (1928–1991) and producer Neil Hartley (1916–1994) notified state authorities that the film's sponsor (Pizza Hut) had changed its mind, leaving the production without funding. As a result, the film was shot the following year in Canada for less money than originally planned, thanks to a very favorable exchange rate.
