Хороший фильм!
Я боялась, что другие сюжетные линии, помимо истории с Мэгги Смит и Майклом Кейном будут плохими.
Но каждая из них оказалась интересной по-своему.
КОНЕЧНО, любимой осталась именно часть с Майклом Кейном и Мэгги.
Сценарий меня просто покорил!
Думаю теперь поискать и прочитать всю пьесу, т.к. диалоги героев просто великолепны!
А вообще, у меня сложилось определенное впечатление от фильма и я была рада прочитать, что режиссер фильма подумал точно также.

The film's four segments, the same as in the source play, were titled: "Visitors from New York", "Visitors from London",
"Visitors from Philadelphia" and "Visitors from Chicago". Director Herbert Ross once said it was like filming four movies. - EXACTLY!



Diana Barrie (Maggie Smith) says that she wishes David Niven could accept her award for her because he would be witty and charming.
In the play on which the movie is based, she says Michael Caine, but it was changed when Caine was cast as her husband.

Maggie Smith's character, Diana Barrie, is nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award but loses the Oscar,
but Maggie Smith actually won an Oscar for portraying her, an Oscar loser.
Moreover, Maggie Smith is the only actress to ever win an Oscar for playing an Oscar nominee / Oscar loser.

The play 'California Suite' featured four acts with the four main actors doubling-up playing two or three parts each.
In this movie version, ten actors play the main ten roles.

The room number of the suite in the film's source play was Suite No. 203-04 in the Beverly Hills Hotel.
The film features the characters in four different hotel suites as the action cuts between
the four episodes which in the play were set in the one hotel suite at different times, one per act.
