Fawlty Towers connection?
Perhaps this is a bit of a stretch, but I wondered while watching this movie if it had any influence on John Cleese's "Fawlty Towers". The only connections I noticed are these: It's set in a hotel. One of the permanent residents is referred to as the Major. One of the lead characters is called Sybil. And early on in the film, the first time Mrs. Railton-Bell and Lady Matheson are in conversation, I was reminded of the two old ladies who live in Fawlty Towers. That exhausts the tiny list of similarities I noticed. Did anyone catch any others, or does this seem like a silly theory?
