Another casualty of the editing
process was a scene...

:27:15
about a honeymooning couple on their
wedding night at the Sedgewich Hotel.

:27:18
A foul-smelling ghost pays a visit
to their bridal suite...

:27:21
which prompts this telephone call from
the hotel manager to the Ghostbusters.

:28:13
Dan Aykroyd's original idea
for the Ectomobile...

:28:16
was an all-black,
sinister-Iooking machine.

:28:19
But cinematographer Lazlo Kovacs
pointed out...

:28:21
that most of the Ectomobile scenes
would be shot at night...

:28:24
and a black ambulance
would be hard to see.

:28:27
It got painted white.
:28:40
The Sedgewich Hotel exterior
and lobby...

:28:42
are actually the Biltmore Hotel
in downtown Los Angeles.

:28:45
The producers originally wanted to film
at the Waldorf Astoria in New York...

:28:48
but the huge lobby
at the Biltmore in Los Angeles...

:28:51
allowed director Ivan Reitman to
create this wonderful tracking shot.

:28:54
It was a perfect setting to reveal,
for the first time...

:28:56
the Ghostbusters in full regalia.
