Blame It on the Bellboy is a 1992 comedy film written and directed by Mark Herman and starring Dudley Moore, Bryan Brown, Patsy Kensit, Richard Griffiths, and Bronson Pinchot.

The plot is about a case of mistaken identity of three individuals with similar-sounding surnames staying at the same hotel.

Three men board the same plane at London Heathrow Airport, bound for Venice: Melvyn Orton, a shy and unassuming clerk assigned with purchasing a house in Venice under penalty of losing his job; Mike Lawton, a hitman en route to Venice to kill his next mark, and Lord Maurice Horton, a bank manager and the mayor in a small city in the United Kingdom who is there to meet a woman through a dating agency called Medi-Date.

All three register at the Hotel Gabrielli, where the Italian bellboy has a poor command of English and becomes totally confused with the names Orton, Horton, and Lawton.

When they prepare to torture him, Melvyn remembers the man at his hotel with a similar last name: "Horton".

Everyone returns to the hotel: Maurice and Caroline to have sex, Mike to figure out what to do with Patricia, and Melvyn to check out and run for his life.

Maurice's wife arrives at the hotel, and the bellboy takes her to the room where Melvyn is being tortured again, but they quickly leave.

When the bellboy knocks on the door, Mike holds him at gunpoint while Patricia reads the message from Mike's employer: given that his actual mark Scarpa and two of his top men were killed, he has been paid a generous bonus on top of his original fee.
