International House
Grand Hotel of comedy
Directed by A. Edward Sutherland
Produced by Paramount Pictures
A gleefully anarchic pre-code comedy revue where plot is merely scaffolding for vaudeville acts, musical numbers, and absurdist gags in a quarantined luxury hotel.
Foreign investors converge on a luxury hotel in China to bid on a new kind of radioscope. But, this is a hotel where Burns and Allen are the in-house medical staff, a measles risk sends the whole building into quarantine, and a madcap millionaire crashes dinner in his autogyro. Hotel and radioscope become a stage for an all-star cast of comedians and musicians, from vaudeville to the new generation.
