Parisian playwright Monsieur Feydeau has writer's block and observes his neighbors in Hotel Paradiso. Benedict Boniface (Alec Guinness) suffers under his domineering wife and is trying to have an affair with Marcelle who has clueless building-obsessed husband Henri Cotte. It's a cast of wacky characters with their chaotic relationships.
This is a fun screwball comedy led by the great Alec Guinness. I like all these wacky character. It's chaos but it's fun chaos. If I had a change, I would put the characters into a Keystone cop chase to end the movie. Benedict should definitely be chased by his wife. This is adapted from a French play. I don't know if it's been significantly altered although it does feel more British than French. That's probably due to the British actors.
