While diving for sunken treasure, Miami private eye Tony Rome Frank Sinatra finds the body of a gorgeous blonde, her feet stuck in a block of cement. Soon after, tough guy Waldo Gronski Dan Blocker hires him to find a missing person. In no time Tony finds himself mixed up with a beautiful party girl Raquel Welch and a slippery racketeer Martin Gabel. Jerry Lewis now claims that his film directorial debut came about when his home studio, Paramount, needed a summer-release Lewis vehicle in a hurry.
Jerry and his entourage headed to Fontainebleau Miami Beach, and 29 days later returned with The Bellboy! Kevin Keeley Gene Hackman. When doctors tell a mob boss Robert De Niro that he is suffering from anxiety attacks, he seeks the help of Ben, a therapist Billy Crystal , who is manipulated into treating him, with hysterical results. If the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel pronounced Fountain-Blue by the locals had been built in a straight line, it might have been just another rectangular block of hotel rooms on a crowded shoreline.
But Morris Lapidus, in the best traditions of Miami Beach architecture, chose to give his magnum opus a quarter turn. From such whimsy, perhaps imagined as Lapidus brainstormed aboard a New York subway on his way to work in Manhattan, springs the delight that is the central element of architecture.
Put four of them together and you have a circle — but no beach views. The hotel also has a two-story spa, where all guests will be able to enjoy a truly relaxing experience thanks to the various modern beauty treatments they provide.
