Gary gives ALWAYS AT THE CARLYLE two stars **

Seems like a magnificent hotel, but the documentary doesn't provide much history and at times feels like an infomercial.

ALWAYS AT THE CARLYLE is playing at select theaters around the country.  In Chicago, it's playing at the Gene Siskel Film Center and Wilmette Theater.
