Description
The story of Vancouver's legendary Penthouse nightclub, founded in 1947 and active to this day. In its heyday, acts like Sammy Davis Jr and Nat King Cole performed, and stars like Frank Sinatra and Gary Cooper visited; in the 1970s, the club became infamous for its exotic dancers and a lurid history that included vice squads, politicians, and con men.
