Near the begining of *Towering Inferno* Fred Astair gets out of a
cab, walks across the plaza in front of the Bank of America building,
gazes up at it (quick cut to a POV shot of the model) then strolls
inside. 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.
