Country Hotel
Chana is annoyed that the hotel plays host to various musical groups, including a 'Professor' who sings European opera, another man who practises the trombone, a Peking opera troupe, a Filipina ballad singer, a brass band and unwanted displays of "buffalo boxing" all of which take their toll on his nerves and peace of mind.A young woman named Riam arrives and attempts to check in, only to be told that the one room is already occupied.The reasons for Chana's stay at the hotel are mysterious, and Riam is equally enigmatic, stating her age at 65 years old, saying she has a dozen children and is an opium trader.Chana turns out to be the accountant of a large company, who comes to the attention of some strong-arm thugs who have their eyes on the substantial payroll delivery he is about to oversee.For some reason, both he and Riam are rather good shots, which may come in useful... Country Hotel was filmed in 35 mm black-and-white, with one camera on a single set.
