PARIS (Reuters) - A French court has fined producers of a pornographic movie that illegally used Paris's chic Hotel Crillon as a location for their hardcore film, the hotel's owners said Friday
The movie, called An American in Paris, features top Italian porn star Rocco Siffredi. The producer was Hungarian and the video was distributed by French and U.S. firms, Malbequi said.
He added that a Paris court this week had awarded the hotel, which caters to many visiting VIPs, a provisional 30,000 francs ($4,105) in damages ahead of full legal proceedings.
