...director, Lewis put on film some of the most complex comic constructions - The Ladies' Man's open, multi-story set, The Bellboy's plot-ignoring series of sight gags (with Jer as the unspeaking hotel employee) - since the early masterpieces of Buster Keaton. Where Lewis went wrong was in also trying to be Charlie Chaplin: laying on the ennobling sentiment, but with a trowel. What the movies lacked was an audience interlocutor; without a figure like Dean Martin, viewers could laugh at Jerry but not always root...
...global status. The campaign included an official bureau of tourism, a national park system, improved transportation, and department stores large enough to include swimming pools and zoos.The entire exhibition consists of paintings culled from the collection of Hosokawa Rikizo, a businessman and avid art collector who founded a luxury hotel at the start of the Showa period.

The hotel's restaurant, Opus, is locally celebrated for chef Todd Cheavins' seasonal cuisine (the current menu features things such as vanilla-seared scallops with crab salad and grilled red emperor fish with tempura zucchini flowers). For working it off, the azure indoor lap pool is impossible to resist, and joggers will appreciate proximity...
...marriage is scheduled to take place on Sunday at the kind of snooty country-house hotel that is usually expert at making Britons of Goody's class feel out of place. At the end of her life, though, Goody, bald and frail, has most definitely arrived. Shetty confided in her blog that a "shoot in Kuala Lampur" (sic) prevents her attendance at the ceremony, but homegrown celebrities are expected to turn out in force to honor Goody, including the megasuccessful pop group Girls Aloud, originally brought together by a TV talent show...
