La Tour Montparnasse infernale

Eric et Ramzy sont les héros d'une comédie burlesque débridée qui prend pour décor la Tour Montparnasse, l'un des monuments contemporains les plus prétigieux de Paris, avec la Pyramide du Louvre et la Grande Arche de la Défense. Ce soir d'été, accrochés à l'exterieur du cinquante deuxième étage, Eric et Ramzy, deux laveurs de carreaux ont comme d'habitude pris du retard sur leur travail. Tandis que Ramzy consomme des boissons énergétiques improbables destinées à lui donner de la force physique dont il rêve, Eric regarde passionnément à travers les vitres la belle Marina Lanceval dont il est éperdument amoureux. A l'intérieur, Marina attend son oncle, le puissant PDG du Groupe Lanceval, et ses fils, les actionnaires principaux, pour un conseil d'administration nocturne qui va se révéler bien particulier. La Tour Montparnasse est vide de ses occupants lorsqu'un commando surentraîné investit l'immeuble, contrôlant tous les accès et prenant la famille Lanceval en otage. On apprend bientôt que Marina est l'organisatrice du hold-up, et qu'elle convoite la fortune de son oncle qui la méprise depuis toujours. Des charges explosives sont rapidement disposées dans le hall de la Tour et dans les appartements privés de Lanceval au cinquantième étage. Tout se passe comme prévu pour Marina et ses hommes. On attend plus que la main de madame Lanceval, dont les empreintes vont permettre d'actionner le mécanisme d'ouverture du coffre. Un grain de sable, ou plutôt deux, vont venir gripper les rouages de cette organisation implacable car Eric et Ramzy sont restés sur la Tour. Si Ramzy est d'abord terrorisé et préfère fuir, Eric, qui n'a rien compris, veut à tout prix sauver Marina, son amour éternel, qu'il croit en danger. Par amitié, et curieux de mettre à l'épreuve ses forces naturelles, Ramzy reste avec Eric. De maladresse en naïveté, de catastrophe déclenchée par inadvertance, en cataclysme évité par miracle, Eric et Ramzy vont se retrouver en possession de la main sans en mesurer la valeur. Ils seront poursuivis d'étage en étage par Marina et ses sbires, bien décidés à les tuer pour récupérér la précieuse main, ouvrir le coffre et s'enfuir en hélicoptère avec les millions de l'oncle. Deux ou trois cascades hallucinantes et un vol calamiteux en hélicoptère mèneront Eric et Ramzy vers la richesse - aux innocents la fortune des Lanceval - Eric trouvera l'amour ou presque, Ramzy aussin enfin pour ainsi dire, tous deux, enfin prêts pour de nouvelles aventures.

Film / La Tour Montparnasse infernale

Edit locked.

Éric: Hasta la vista, bye bye!

La Tour Montparnasse infernale (sometimes translated as Don't Die Too Hard , literally The Infernal Montparnasse Tower ) is a 2001 French comedy film directed by Charles Nemes and starring Éric Judor, Ramzy Bedia and Marina Foïs.

Éric and Ramzy are window washers who work at the Tour Montparnasse in Paris . Eric is in love with Stéphanie, an executive who he has never talked to, but who he sees every day because she works in the skyscrapper. Shortly after the close of business, a group of gangsters enters the building and takes hostage several executives, including Stéphanie. Éric and Ramzy, who have stayed late in the skyscrapper, will try to free her.

A prequel , La Tour de contrôle infernale , was released in 2016 .

La Tour Montparnasse infernale (2001) provides examples of:

• Air-Vent Passageway : Éric and Ramzy use an air-vent passageway when they are chased by Ming.
• Are You Sure You Can Drive This Thing? : Éric and Ramzy try to fly a helicopter. It ends in a crash landing.
• Asshole Victim : The CEO is a horrible person (he slapped his niece in the face because he thought that the colour of the paper she used for a document was ugly; he does not care if his niece is shot down by gangsters...), so the audience does not care if he is taken hostage.
• Bad Boss : "Machin" abuses his minions: he hits one of them in the face with a gun because he shot in a window. He also shoots Chang down .
• Borrowed Biometric Bypass : A gangster cut the hand of the CEO's wife, because her hand is necessary to open the second door of the safe. Then the CEO is forced to look into a retinal scanner to open a third door.
• Brandishment Bluff : When Ming fights Ramzy, Éric shows up and pretends that he has a gun under his coat of mail. Obviously, it is just a Finger Gun .
• Bruce Lee Clone : Ming, a martial art fighter with a bowl-cut, a yellow jumpsuits and a nunchaku. (His fight scene with Ramzy is a parody of a scene from Game of Death .)
• Bullet Time : Parodied when Éric manage to dodge the bullets shot at him.
• The Cameo : The famous rapper JoeyStarr (of Suprême NTM fame) appears briefly as a policeman.
• Casting Gag : JoeyStarr playing the role of a policeman is quite funny given the fact that he has had many problems with the police (including being sentenced for insulting the police during his concerts).
• Closet Gay : At one point, when he thinks they're going to be blown up by a bomb, Ramzy admits to Éric that he's attracted to the (fictional) bodybuilder Peter MacCalloway . Éric spends the rest of the movie mocking him for this, while Ramzy tries in vain to downplay the statement.
• Coming in Hot : In the end, the helicopter has to crash land into the front of Montparnasse train station.
• Damsel in Distress : Stéphanie is taken hostage by a group of gangsters. Éric and Ramzy decide to help her. Subverted because she is actually the brains of the operation.
• Did Not Get the Girl : Éric does not get together with Stéphanie in the end.
• "Die Hard" on an X : A skyscrapper is taken over by gangsters and Éric and Ramzy accidentally use guerrilla tactics to stop them.
• Disney Death : Machin shoots Stéphanie at point-blank range. She collapses and there is a big bloodstain on her belly. It turns out that this scene was staged by Stéphanie herself.
• Disney Villain Death : Machin dies when he falls from the helicopter.
• The Ditz : Éric and Ramzy. Ramzy is slightly more clever than Eric, but he is still a complete doofus.
• Dressing as the Enemy : Éric and Ramzy wear the uniform of the helicopter pilots and their face-concealing helmets to pose as them.
• Elevator Failure : Chang is in the elevator. Suddenly it stops because a bomb explodes. Chang has to get out through the ceiling of the cabin.
• Equal-Opportunity Evil : The group of gangsters is lead by a white Frenchman (Michel Vignault or "Machin"). It includes, besides several white Frenchmen, two Asians (Ming and Chang), a German (Hans), and an African American (Chris).
• Extremely Short Timespan : The story takes place between the end of the afternoon and the next morning.
• The Fool : Éric and Ramzi are two stupid window washers. They do not understand what really happens. They do not realize that Stéphanie is the Big Bad . Highly-trained gangsters are after them to kill them, but they manage to survive and to ruin the gangsters' plan by sheer luck.
• Hellish Copter : The helicopter used by the gangsters to escape ends up in the front of Montparnasse train station.
• Hoist by His Own Petard : Chris, a gangster, is killed by a bullet that he shoots at Éric, because the bullet ricochets off Éric's armor.
• Hostage Situation : The gangsters take hostage the members of the board of a company, who are the CEO's sons. This is to force the CEO to disclose the code that opens the first door of the safe. This is also to prevent to police from storming the building.
• Love-Interest Traitor : It is revealed early that Stéphanie, Éric's love interest, is the mastermind of the taking of hostages, but the protagonists take a very long time to realize it.
• Malaproper : Éric and Ramzy get many words wrong. For example, Éric says "pour ta gouvernante" ("for your housekeeper") instead of "pour ta gouverne" ("for your information") and "Hasta la vista, bye bye" instead of "Hasta la vista, baby".
• Manchild : Éric and Ramzy act like young children. The police officer who intercepts their call on the radio comes to the conclusion that they are children playing with a radio.
• Mean Boss : The CEO slapped Stéphanie in the face because he thought that the colour of the paper she used for a document was ugly. He is also rude with the security guard at the entrance of the building.
• Mistaken for Badass : "Machin" thinks that Éric and Ramzy are "professionals", whereas they are just very lucky idiots.
• Muscle Angst : Ramzy's arms are skinny and everybody notices it. Yet, he follows a special programme of body-building and should become very muscular.
• No Name Given : Éric and Ramzy's characters are never named. When he talks to the police, Ramzy pretends that Éric is Michel, a philosopher. When Éric and Ramzy meet Stéphanie, Ramzy introduces himself as Peter Mac Calloway and Éric as François, then as Francis (Éric adds "Francis Huster", which is the name of a French actor). In both cases, it seems to be made up identities.
• The film as a whole (including the poster) is a parody of Die Hard .
• The bullet dodge scene is a parody of The Matrix .
• The fight between Ming and Ramzy is a parody of the fight between Billy Lo ( Bruce Lee ) and Hakim ( Kareem Abdul-Jabbar ) in Game of Death (the costumes, including the yellow tracksuit, are the same).
• In the end, Stéphanie tells Éric and Ramzy that she has booby-trapped their shoes. She pretends that their shoes will explode if they run slower than 30 km/h. This is a reference to Speed .
• Pinball Projectile : A bullet shot by a gangster, Chris, at Éric ricochets off Éric's armor and kills the gangster.
• Reading Lips : Éric thinks that he can read lips. Actually, he gets some words right, but he always misunderstands the full meaning of the sentence.
• The title is a reference to The Towering Inferno (in French La Tour infernale ).
• Éric tells Ramzy "Hasta la vista, bye bye", a malapropism for "Hasta la vista, baby", a catchphrase from Terminator 2: Judgment Day .
• Stéphanie ironically tells Machin that he is as perceptive as Shaggy from Scooby-Doo .
• Ramzy calls Ming "San Ku Kaï", which is the French title of Message from Space: Galactic Wars , a spin-off series of the Japanese film Message from Space .
• Spanner in the Works : Eric and Ramzy, two very stupid window washers, ruin the elaborate plan of Stéphanie to steal the money of her uncle.
• Unwanted Rescue : Éric and Ramzy want to free Stéphanie, whereas she does not need rescue, since she is the mastermind of the taking of hostages.
• Uptown Girl : Éric, a poor window washer, falls in love with Stéphanie, a rich executive.
• You Have Failed Me : "Machin" shoots Chang down when he finds him unconscious, because he has lost the hand of the CEO's wife.

La Tour de contrôle infernale (2016) provides examples of:

• Bad Boss : Janouniou shoots down his mooks on any pretext, for example because they correct his language mistakes.
• Banana Peel : Exaggerated . According to Éric and Ramzy, bananas caused a truck to crash.
• Bloody Hilarious : Bachir Bouzouk's very bloody wounds are played for laughs.
• Empty Quiver : The "Moustachious" steal communications satellites and a nuclear weapon from a plane. They plan to explode the nuclear device above Paris.
• Generation Xerox : Like their sons, Ernest Krakenkrick and Bachir Bouzouk are the Spanner in the Works in a "Die Hard" on an X scenario.
• High-Pressure Blood : Happens to Bachir Bouzouk when his hands and his feet are wounded. He loses liters of blood.
• Identical Grandson : Éric and Ramzy play the roles of the fathers of their characters in the first film. Marina Foïs plays the mother of Stéphanie, her character in the first film.
• Malevolent Masked Men : The "Moustachious" wear masks.
• Offscreen Moment of Awesome : During a job interview, Éric and Ramzy tell the climax of the story, which is not showed on screen: Zavier dropped his bananas; the truck drove on it and skidded. This prevented the explosion.
• Parody : The film as a whole is a parody of Die Hard 2 .
• Pocket Protector : Parodied . Krakenkrick, Bouzouk, Jean-Peter McCallaway , "Le Méchant", and Zavier are successively revealed to have survived a close-range shot, because they were protected by objects hidden under their clothes, like dog tags, a weight plate, and bananas.
• Prequel : The story is set in 1981, 20 years before the events of the first film.

La tour montparnasse infernale.

2001 Directed by Charles Nemes

Eric and Ramzy are working as window washers at the Montparnasse skyscraper in Paris. Thinking that he has a date set up with beautiful executive Marie-Joelle (who in reality hates his guts), Ramzy stays at work late while Eric hangs around with him. As a result, the pair witness a gang of terrorists seize the tower and take its late-night occupants (including Marie- Joelle) hostage. Knowing that only they can save the day, Eric and Ramzy swing into action.

Review by Tristanosss ★★½ 2

C’est pas une compétition mais moi une fois je me suis couché à 1h15 et j’étais même pas fatigué je jour d’après. Après c’était un vendredi soir donc je me suis réveillé un peu plus tard le jour d’après (vers 10h00) étant donné que c’était un samedi. Finalement j’ai quand même eu mes 8 heures de sommeil, presque 9 donc c’est plutôt normal que je n’était pas fatigué. Une autre fois aussi je me suis couché vers minuit mais cette fois-ci je te raconte pas comment j’étais fatigué, bonjour le décalage horaire.

An amazing, deeply connected to trans-ratial communities. I really liked the part when Eric, one of the main character talk to the asian boy in his language to explain him what's going on, and also to tell him that it's not racist. Trully a beautiful scene. Thank you for this masterpiece, and I hope to see this duo in another serie in a hospital (I'm talking qbout Eric and Ramzi). It would also be nice to see them with Jamel Debouze, a great actor from this period. Again, Thank you.

• Comédies françaises
• Films français

Dans une tour à Paris, deux laveurs de vitres qui se chamaillent déjouent malgré eux un coup monté pour dérober un puissant tycoon lors d'une fausse prise d'otage.

Un soir, suspendus au 52ème étage de la Tour Montparnasse, Éric et Ramzy, deux laveurs de carreaux, ont pris du retard dans leur travail. Pendant ce temps, la jolie Stéphanie attend son oncle, le puissant PDG du Groupe Lanceval, et ses fils, les actionnaires principaux, pour un conseil d'administration nocturne qui va se révéler bien mouvementé. En effet, un commando surentraîné investit l'immeuble, contrôle tous les accès et prend la famille Lanceval en otage. Stéphanie est en fait l'organisatrice du coup monté et convoite la fortune de son oncle qui la méprise depuis toujours. Stéphanie et ses hommes n'attendent plus que la main de la chère mère, dont les empreintes vont permettre d'actionner le mécanisme d'ouverture du coffre. Cependant, nos deux compères sont restés au sommet de la Tour et risquent bien de faire capoter le plan machiavélique de la belle.

Discover the stunning view from Tour Montparnasse

Last Updated:  17 April 2024

The Tour Montparnasse (Montparnasse Tower) is a high-rise building overlooking the district of Montparnasse in the 15th arrondissement and borders the 6th and 14th arrondissements. Its panoramic terrace offers one of the most beautiful views over Paris .

Description of Tour Montparnasse

The Tour Montparnasse was inaugurated in 1973 and was France’s tallest skyscraper until 2011 when the Tour First in La Défense was completed.

The tower was designed by architects Eugène Beaudouin, Urbain Cassan and Louis Hoym de Marien and built from 1969 to 1972 by Campenon Bernard on the site of the former Montparnasse railway station. Its base is an almond shape of 50 m by 32 m.

The presence of the tower in central Paris has been very controversial since its construction and has been criticised for being at odds with Paris’ skyline. Following its inauguration, the municipality ruled it impossible for buildings over seven floors high to be built in the centre of Paris (“intra-muros”).

Today, the Tour Montparnasse has become a true Parisian landmark with over 5,000 people working in the offices located in the tower.

At the foot of the tower, there is a vast shopping mall and a busy metro station connected to the Gare Montparnasse where trains head off to the French Atlantic Coast and Spain.

Dimensions of the tower

The Tour Montparnasse is one of France’s tallest skyscrapers and, as of June 2021, is ranked the 13th tallest building in the European Union.

In France, the tower is the country’s second tallest building:

• Tour First ( La Défense ): 231 m (Antenna spire)
• Tour Montparnasse (Paris): 210 m (Roof terrace)
• and Tour Total ( La Défense ): 190 m

In the near future, two planned towers will overtake the height of the Tour Montparnasse:

– the two Hermitage Plaza Towers ( La Défense ): 323 m (2025?)

Fun facts about the Montparnasse Tower

• The tower has a total of 7,200 windows,
• The structure weighs 130,000 tons,
• There are 6 underground levels,
• Its foundations are 70 metres deep.

The Panoramic Terraces of Tour Montparnasse

The visit of Tour Montparnasse may seem odd when suggested to tourists but the magnificent view from the top is one of Paris’ most impressive panoramas and attracts 1,2 million visitors each year. Visitors access the 56th floor with one of Europe’s fastest lifts.

The 56th floor

The 56th floor , called the “Panoramic Floor”, allows the visitor to admire the breathtaking view protected from the wind and rain. The space is heated in the winter and air-conditioned in the summer. It is accessible from the bottom floor of the tower by one of the fastest lifts in Europe (38 seconds at speeds reaching 60km per hour). The floor features interactive terminals and quizzes on Paris, a photographic exhibition on Paris, a souvenir shop and a café.

The 59th floor

The 59th floor is actually the outdoor roof terrace which, at 210 metres high, offers a breathtaking 360-degree view of Paris. In clear weather, the view extends up to 40 kilometres from the Yvelines to Charles-de-Gaulle and Orly airports and the Eastern suburbs of Val de Marne and Seine-et-Marne.

The 59th floor is only accessible by stairs from the 56th floor.

The terrace has telescopes and interesting orientation tables that help locate the famous monuments and landmarks of Paris.

In 2011, the terrace was entirely renovated with curved panes of glass surrounding the viewing point.

Day Panoramic View

The panoramic view from the roof-top terrace of the Tour Montparnasse stretches over 40 km. Most of Paris’ famous monuments and landmarks can be seen from there:

The Eiffel Tower

The great perspective leading to the Grande Arche of La Défense through the École Militaire, the Champ de Mars, the Eiffel Tower , and the Trocadéro.

The curved Unesco headquarters can also be seen to the left of the École Militaire.

The Invalids

The gilded dome of the Church at the Invalides looks like a gem in the sky of Paris…

The view reaches the Esplanade des Invalides, the Pont Alexandre III and the Petit and Grand Palais .

To the right lies the Garden of the Champs-Élysées and then the Place de la Concorde .

The Arc de Triomphe

The view of the Louvre reveals how large the palace is! It extends onwards with the famous Tuileries Garden . Behind, on top of the Montmartre Hill , a sunbeam lights up the white façade of the Sacré-Cœur basilica .

A closer look at the Samaritaine department store:

The Opéra Garnier, just above the Tuileries Garden:

Saint-Germain-des-Prés

The neighbourhood of Saint-Germain-des-Prés is clearly recognisable thanks to the old bell tower of the church.

The Rue de Rennes looks like it cut Paris in half, leading to the Seine:

To the right of the rue de Rennes stands the Saint-Sulpice church:

The Luxembourg Palace

To the North-East, the view shows the Luxembourg Garden in the foreground along with the Luxembourg Palace.

Notre-Dame de Paris and Ile de la Cité

Behind lies Île de la Cité with Notre Dame de Paris . In the distance can be seen the Hôtel de Ville (City Hall of Paris).

The central districts of Paris

The latin quarter.

You’ll get a great view of the Pantheon, the Sorbonne and the Latin Quarter, particularly in the afternoon.

South-East of Paris

The view reveals the Val de Grace, Paris Observatory, the 13th arrondissement and, beyond these, the Bois de Vincennes.

The view extends beyond the hill of Montmartre with the basilica of Saint-Denis, the Stade de France, the airports of Le Bourget and Charles de Gaulle. In the far distance, you can also see the countryside!

And street life in the Montparnasse district…

From the top of the tower, the Montparnasse cemetery reveals its great size.

The railway lines that start from the Montparnasse Train Station lead to the French Atlantic Coast (Brittany, Poitou-Charentes, Pays de la Loire, Aquitaine) and Spain.

The aerial part of métro line 6:

The stunning rooftops of Paris in the 7th arrondissement:

The view offers amazing sights of street life in Paris (here Boulevard du Montparnasse and Boulevard de Port-Royal)

Night Panoramic View

Visiting the roof-terrace of the Tour Montparnasse at sunset offers one of the most enchanting views over the City of Light. Little by little, the lights are lit, revealing the famous monuments of Paris.

One of the best spots to enjoy the Eiffel Tower glittering is from the top terrace of the Montparnasse Tower, aligned perfectly with the Eiffel Tower, with the skyline of La Défense in the background. The “light show” takes place every hour for ‘5 minutes précieuses’ from nightfall until 1.00 am, on the hour.

The gilded Dôme des Invalides is lit up like a gem, and behind it stretches the vast esplanade that leads to Pont Alexandre III:

At Christmas time, you can clearly see the Big Wheel at the Tuileries and Place de la Concorde, in between the two dark areas of the Champs-Élysées and the Tuileries Gardens.

The length of Rue de Rennes winds its way through the 6th arrondissement leading to the Church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. To the right, the St. Sulpice Church reveals its classical façade.

The Louvre  is seen in its entirety surmounted by the Montmartre Hill  and the Sacré-Cœur basilica .

Agree entirely! The Montparnasse Tower is an ugly blot on the landscape, but the views from the top of the tower are magnificent. I look forward to returning one day.

And make sure you climb on a sunny afternoon (the best time of the day to see all of central and eastern Paris!)

These are wonderful photos, Pierre – thank you! I always say the best thing about the Tour Montparnasse is being in it so you can’t see it! I’m going to choose a clear day when I’m in Paris to go to the top.

Merci Ellen – and choose a sunny afternoon to have the central and eastern districts of Paris in plain sight (not against-the-light)! 🙂

I’ve been there, once at day- and once at nighttime. Indeed very beautiful.

24 PLACES TO SEE IN FRANCE

Classic film lovers: See James Dean’s apartment and more on new TCM tour at Warner Bros.

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

In 2021, the Warner Bros. Studio Tour created new interactive exhibits focused on the company’s recent history, unveiling areas dedicated to the DC Comics universe and the “Harry Potter” franchise.

This week, the popular Studio Tour in Burbank is doubling down on its more distant past.

Warner Bros. is now offering a Turner Classic Movies-branded version of its studio tour that will bring guests to previously off-limit areas of the lot, including vintage animation buildings, a mini rose garden and an apartment that once housed James Dean. The 90-minute tram portion of the jaunt — about 30 minutes longer than the studio’s standard tram excursion — will allow guides to go deeper into the history of the studio’s catalog to deliver factoids related to such films as “Casablanca,” “My Fair Lady,” “Rebel Without a Cause,” “Auntie Mame” and many more.

“We’re off the leash,” says Brad Taylor, a 15-year tour guide veteran with Warner Bros., noting that the TCM excursion will include time for guides to chat with visitors about their favorite films.

“We get to talk to the guests and really hang out with people who have the same passion that we do,” Taylor says. “I find that ‘classics’ guests are less about behind-the-scenes and more, ‘I can’t believe this is where we are.’ It’s just the look on their faces when they realize ‘Casablanca’ filmed here, or James Dean stood right here.”

The launch of the TCM tour arrives during the network’s 30th anniversary and close to 12 months after classic film fans were given a scare. In June, Warner Bros. announced that layoffs would hit TCM, including some of the network’s top executives, prompting concern from prestige directors such as Steven Spielberg, Paul Thomas Anderson and Martin Scorsese. After garnering national attention, key cuts were reversed and Warner Bros. sought to assure fans that TCM would continue to be handled with care.

Long live TCM! Our culture would be worse off without movies on TV

Without Turner Classic Movies and other channels for movies on TV, we’d lose the instructive pleasures of the happy accident, the unexpected discovery.

Aug. 1, 2023

TCM network hosts — Eddie Muller, Jacqueline Stewart, Ben Mankiewicz, Alicia Malone and Dave Karger — recorded new video segments for the outing. The tour will take guests into the lot’s Property House, an area not visited by the standard tour. Here, visitors can get glimpses of materials for a full set, including items for a complete Oval Office setting, but expect guides to highlight vintage items, such as a throne from the Errol Flynn pirate film “Captain Blood.”

Danny Kahn, vice president-general manager of the studio tour, says there have been numerous requests over the years from guests to delve a little deeper into the studio’s animation history. That’s why the TCM tour will for the first time take visitors to an area of the lot once known as “Termite Terrace,” which from 1955 to 1964, says Taylor, housed the animation department, a building with a sloped roof designed to capture sunlight. Animation legend Chuck Jones, says Kahn, had an office in the Termite Terrace area in the 1990s despite Warner’s moving animation production elsewhere.

How the Universal Studios tram tour defined the modern theme park

The most important theme park ride ever created? It may just be the Universal Studios tram tour, which dates to the silent film era. Once primarily a behind-the-scenes tour, the trek has evolved to define the modern theme park.

Aug. 3, 2023

Another unique tour locale is the exterior of the Dean apartment. When Dean resided there during filming of “East of Eden,” it was actually across the street from the lot, the apartment nesting above a pharmacy. But gradual studio expansion has led to the area now being on Warner Bros. property.

“That was an actual drugstore with apartments, and the studio rented it for him,” Kahn says. “I think it was to keep an eye on him and keep him on a short leash.”

The tour will also give tram riders a look at executive life at the studio, allowing them to briefly walk around a rose garden. The manicured spaces once held a tennis court as well as offices and personal screening rooms for the likes of studio mogul Jack Warner, with many of the structures dating to the 1920s. “It’s a really historic area of the lot that hasn’t really changed a lot in all these years,” says Kahn, noting the area is still in use by studio principals. “Jack Warner, when he ran the studio, privatized the first floor. That was a massage parlor that he had beneath his office.”

TCM Classic Films Tour

Where: The Warner Bros. Studio, 3400 Warner Blvd., Burbank 91505

When: Most days, 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.

Cost: $95 for adults; $82 for children. A SoCal resident discount is available for $75

Info: (818) 977-8687 or wbstudiotour.com

Staples of the tour, such as a journey around the backlot city streets, a visit to the “Friends” set and cafe and recent additions highlighting the studio’s modern franchise films are included in the TCM trek, as is a pre-tour reception with beverages and pastries. All told, expect the tour to last about 3½ hours. A tour spokesperson says the first TCM-branded outing is scheduled for Wednesday, with trams expected to depart daily after that date. Adult tickets are $95, but there is a Southern California resident discount available for $75.

“It feels so good to have TCM here,” Kahn says. “People understand that the TCM brand is synonymous with classic film.”
