Athur Hailey's Hotel - Pilotfilm Vorspann

- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- Der Beginn einer der erfolgreichsten Serien der 1980er Jahre, die in jeder Episode eine Vielzahl weltbekannter Gesichter als Gaststars durch die Lobby schreiten ließ. Selbst Papst Johannes Paul II. war ein bekennender Fan!
Im Pilotfilm von 1982 spielte noch Bette Davis die Besitzerin des Hotel St. Gregory; Laura Trent (Davis)tauchte gesundheitsbedingt nur im Pilotfilm auf und wurde in den weiteren Folgen der Serie durch die Figur der Victoria Cabot, gespielt von Anne Baxter, ersetzt.
Obwohl bereits im Pilotfilm zu sehen, fehlt auch noch Shari Belafonte-Harper in den Opening Credits. Sie wird erst ab der regulären ersten Folge genannt.
Viel Vergnügen bei dieser zweiminütigen Reise in die TV-Vergangenheit!
Das war eine schöne Serie, habe ich immer sehr gerne gesehen. Nicht nur wegen der vielen Stars, auch die Geschichten waren immer interessant erzählt, besonders in der ersten Staffel.
I love the way there is pause at the end of the tune, and then the coda is added as if as an afterthought!
I don't ever recall hearing those final 6 chords outside of the pilot...almost as if to say "We're going to make this two minutes long if it kills us"
Season 5 intro has a similar ending, only more prominent and slightly longer.
GREAT SHOW
❤ VERY RELAXING AND ENJOYABLE 😊
Great show, and great interduction.
@chrisman737 I couldn't have said it better. I conveyed the same opinion, to a friend, just a few days ago. The era of beautiful theme songs is, sadly, a thing of the past. And quality programming also, as you so eloquently wrote.
Aaron Spelling Rule #1: Each AS show must feature an icon of Hollywood royalty *and* Lloyd Bochner
Rare find! Thanks for posting.
The show is ABC's answer to CBS' popular soap Falcon Crest, because it followed Dynasty, which is also ABC's answer to CBS' Dallas.
if I remember reading Bette Davis was not too fond of this show refering it to a show about a Brothel. I don't think she wouldhjave returned I believe she needed the money so thats why she did the pilot
Odd. Davis was ill, left, got better though Baxter was there now (ALL ABOUT EVE!) but Baxter died in 1985. Who was the matriarch then? Bette outlived her and the show!
What an Irony, that "Margo Channing" was replaced by "Eve".
They brought in Michelle Phillips and Efrem Zimbalist Jr. and a few other actors, but no official matriarch.
Anne Baxter is not in THIS intro, she did not show up in the pilot movie.
Great song!
One of my favorite TV theme songs of all time, written by none other than Henry Mancini.
@jadewarlock - with the exception of Shari not being in the pilot's credits yes I'd have to agree that it was a bit impressive that the characters basically stayed for the entire series run. Once Anne came aboard & Shari was added to the opening credits, the cast virtually remained as was in the pilot. Had Bette's health allowed her to act in this series past the pilot, we would have been used to Mrs. Trent; however I did love Anne's portrayal as Mrs. Cabot as she was more warm and relatable.

I'm pretty sure that Anne Baxter died before the series ended and other characters were added in to compensate including Michelle Phillips.
@@tj.espygil4544 .. *I am original poster daretosayit* and yes; absolutely Anne Baxter passed in 1985, whereas the series ended in 1988. My original comment spoke more to the fact that the revolving door for the most part did not involve main cast members/characters. With exception of illness (Bette) or death (Anne) the original main cast did not leave or were not replaced as has been the case in shows like Rosanne, Scrubs, 2 & 1/2 men, ER, Grey’s Anatomy, etc. etc.
Had Hotel continued another season, it would have lost Nathan Cook as well, but again not due to a deliberate casting change. In other words, the original cast ran their course, including Anne.
I Believe This Was A Video Clip Of "Arthur Hailey's Hotel" Video Open From September 21, 1983.
What's interesting is that they did a proper set of credits for the pilot - these were the same in the series run for some time.
Bette Davis was good in this, but I think it fit the series better when she left and we had ann cabot instead.
If I may make a slight correction to your comment, the actress's name is ANNE BAXTER and she played VICTORIA Cabot.
Where I can find this movie¿?
Fierce!!! I never knew Bette Davis was a Special Guest Star on Hotel?! I used to watch Hotel, but it was DYNASTY that was my favorite!
R.I.P. Bette Davis, Nathan Cook, Lloyd Bochner, Mel Torme , Pernell Roberts, Alejandro Rey, and Erin Moran. You will all be missed. You are in God's hands.
Also, Jack Gilford. May he rest in peace.
Actually, Bette Davis had already been signed-on as the regular lead star on "Hotel". Once she suffered a stroke, Anne Baxter was brought on to replace her.
@level242
They were Bette Davis, Shirley Jones and...who's the third? I have no idea!
Not the slight variation in theme ending from pilot to series. The sets looked cheaper too!??
I think at least 3 ppl had oscars in that intro
Oscar winners: Bette Davis (she won twice), and Shirley Jones.
@TheOceanMonarch . I wonder which person did level242 think was the third Oscar winner in this cast list. For what it's worth, there are 2 Oscar winners (as you mentioned, Davis and Jones) and one Oscar nominee (Jack Gilford, supporting actor for "Save the Tiger" 1974).
@Tenor5274 ... I thought the exact same thing. Quite fitting it was indeed,
There was a drama with the same title in Japan.
Maybe this drama became a model ?
I AGREE!!!!!!!!
I can imagine boarding the Oasis of the see (2nd biggest cruise ship in the world)and hearing this theme
What’s the biggest?
@TheOceanMonarch Anne Baxter
Would to see episodes so if you have any loved this show in the 1980s
Jungle Jane Fonda would a been great in this
question: isnt this from the 1st episode where morgan fairchild played a hooker who's gangbanged by a bunch of frat boys??? that episode for me ranks right up there with the one with edith bunker getting raped in her home on all in the family. no matter how old i get, i will always remember those epsiodes.
BETTE DAVIS!!!!!
"Wonder to behold" or simply put glitz and cheese, haha, but it's remarkably entertaining, isn't it? Nah, this wasn't quality tv but it was the warmest feel-good show of the highest calibre!
I know where that hotel is at in SF!
