Watchlist:
In World War II era Los Angeles, the manager of the Culver Hotel leaves his nephew in charge for a weekend. The nephew changes the name to the Hotel Rainbow and overbooks with royalty, assassins, secret agents, Japanese tourists, and munchkins. Secret Service agent Bruce Thorpe and casting director Annie Clark find romance amidst the intrigue and confusion.
Why you might like this:
Fans of screwball comedy and clever, chaotic ensemble casts will likely enjoy the delightful farce of Under the Rainbow, the 1981 comedy directed by Steve Rash and starring Chevy Chase and Carrie Fisher. With its madcap story of mistaken identities, secret agents, and Munchkins running amok in a Los Angeles hotel, this film blends slapstick humor with a unique period setting for a thoroughly entertaining viewing experience.
About
Under the Rainbow is a 1981 American comedy film directed by Steve Rash and starring Chevy Chase, Carrie Fisher, Eve Arden, and Billy Barty. Set in 1938, the film's plot is loosely based on the gathering of little people in a Hollywood hotel to audition for roles as Munchkins in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. Jerry Maren, who had a role as a Munchkin in the original film, also appears in Under the Rainbow. Filming locations include the original Culver Hotel, which was used by the Munchkins during the filming of The Wizard of Oz.
