The Ritz

Rates are low, decor is rococo art deco and the clientele is... convivial. As a Cleveland sanitation company owner reasons, this New York all-male bathhouse is ideal for hiding from his murderous brother-in-law.

But what this new arrival and his fellow patrons get is an exercise in manic mayhem from director Richard Lester, bringing Terrene McNally's hit Broadway farce to spicy screen life. Adding more spice are five cast members of the stage original: Jack Weston, Jerry Stiller, F. Murray Abraham, Paul B. Price and especially Rita Moreno as clueless Googie Gomez, the role for which she captured a Tony Award. Kaye Ballard and Treat Williams add to the tasty guest list. Check into The Ritz. You've got roomfuls of laughter to check out.
