‘Room Service’ is a classic screwball comedy, featuring an unscrupulous Broadway producer struggling to find a backer for his new show. Holed up in a Times Square hotel with 19 hungry actors and a ballooning room service bill, he tries to forestall eviction by convincing the show’s young playwright to fake his own death.
Will the emissary from the moneybags businessman pay up when he discovers the surprise in the bathroom? Will the outraged hotel manager succeed in closing the show on opening night? And will anyone ever get a bit to eat?
