All the corridors of the hotel...
:33:05
were actually shot at Stage 12
of the Burbank Studios.

for MGM's "Rich and Famous."

But the banquet scenes were actually
filmed at the Biltmore hotel.

:33:19
for two days of intense filming
and special effects.

as continuous action...
:34:46

dialogue here...
:34:48

what they are doing.

My character opens fire on it...
:34:55
completely destroying it."
