My name is Jack Fox, and I'm from the Sacramento
area...but I was born in So. Cal and I have been
following the movements concerning my favorite
hotel.
Chances are, that they really filmed the movie on
location. I say this because of the location of
The Ambassador at a time when movies were still
largely being filmed in Hollywood itself, and the
theme of the movie would have lent itself brilliantly
to filming at the Ambassador when the hotels' guests
would have made an excellent source of extras and a
natural backdrop.
I have been to the property twice....and it is not the
dump that a lot of greedy people would like us to think
it is.
