He emerges into the lobby of the Hyatt Regency which is actually about a mile to the east. When I first saw the film, I was a little confused. I thought that a scene was missing and that Fred had just stopped by the B of A to pick up a little cash before continuing on to the Hyatt. The next time I travelled into the city (San Francisco, for those of you who aren't sure where I'm talking about) I made a point of seeing just what the B of A lobby looked like. Very disappointing. Just a guard desk, a directory and some elevators. -- Jack Hagerty, Zehntel Automation Systems ...!ihnp4!zehntel!jackh
