Agreeing with the earlier reviewers on most points, this film is also notable for showing many shots of what is now the Marriott Camelback Resort in Phoenix, where my lady friend and I recently had a fantastic vacation. The buildings all look the same, as does the pool and grounds, although they are a bit more lush and the area is quite built up now. I had no idea the hotel was more than 60 years old!
