Welcome to New York's posh Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Your suite is waiting - and so are romance, glamour, comedy and drama played with great flair by an all-star cast. A remake of Grand Hotel updated to the waning days of World War II, Week-end at the Waldorf follows the fortunes of a lonely movie star (Ginger Rogers), an on-the-make stenographer (Lana Turner), a wounded flyer (Van Johnson), a war correspondent (Walter Pidgeon), a wheeler-dealer (Edward Arnold) and a gossip columnist (Robert Benchley) whose lives crisscross over two days of martinis, mistaken identities and marriages real and faux.
