ITEM 5  -  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS OR COUNSEL
           -------------------------------------

Not applicable.


ITEM 6  -  INDEMNIFICATION
           ---------------

Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.751 permits a corporation to
indemnify officers, directors, employees and agents in civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative actions under certain
circumstances.  To the extent that a director, officer, employee or
agent of a corporation has been successful in defense of certain
actions enumerated in Section 78.751, he must be indemnified by the
corporation against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually
and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense. 
Section 78.751 further provides that the articles of incorporation,
the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that
the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a
civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the
corporation as they are incurred, subject to reimbursement if a
court determines that such officer or director is not entitled to
indemnification.

Article VI of the Company's Articles of Incorporation provides as
follows:

     1.  Elimination of Certain Liability of Directors.  To the
fullest extent provided by law, a director of the corporation shall
not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except
for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty
to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) for acts or omissions which would
give rise to liability under NRS 78.145, 78.295, 78.300, or any
successor supplemented or similar Nevada law or any Nevada law
which expressly imposes liabilities on directors of corporations,
or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit.

     2.  Indemnification and Insurance.  The corporation to the
full extent of its power to do so, shall indemnify all directors,
officers, employees and/or agents in accordance with the provisions
of Section 78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes or any successor
supplemented or similar Nevada law.  Further, the corporation shall
have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation as
a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation,

                                11
ITEM 6 - cont...

partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any
liability asserted against him in any such capacity or arising out
of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have
the power to indemnify him against such liability under the
provisions of Nevada law.


ITEM 7  -  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED
           -----------------------------------

Not Applicable.


ITEM 8  -  EXHIBITS
           --------

Exhibits       Description
- --------       -----------

  (4)(i)      All instruments that define the rights of the
              holders of the equity securities that the issuer is
              registering, including the pages from the articles
              of incorporation or by-laws that define those
              rights.

  (5)          Opinion dated September 11, 1996, of Weismann,
               Wolff, Bergman, Coleman, and Silverman relating to
               the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to
               the Service Agreement.

  (23.1)       Consent of Weismann, Wolff, Bergman, Coleman, and  
               Silverman included in the opinion filed as exhibit 
               (5), hereto.

  (23.2)       Consent of Independent Certified Public
               Accountants.


ITEM 9  -  UNDERTAKINGS
           ------------

(1)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Act may
     be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
     the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
     otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion
     of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
     indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
     Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a
     claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
     payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a

                                12
ITEM 9 - cont...


     director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
     the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
     asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
     connection with the securities being registered, the
     Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
     matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
     court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
     indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
     the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
     issue.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We, as special counsel to Marquee Entertainment, Inc., a
Nevada corporation (the "Company"), have examined the Registration
Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") which the
Company intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of

Company's common stock, par value of $.04 (the "Common Stock")
issuable pursuant to certain consulting agreements between the
Company and Barry M. Ross and Camille A. de Tournillen,
respectively (the "Consulting Agreements").

     In rendering the following opinion, we have examined and
relied only upon the documents as specifically described below:

     1.     Copies of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of
Company, certified by the Secretary of the Company to be true,
correct and complete copies thereof;

     2.     Copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the
Company approving the Consulting Agreements and the Registration
Statement;

     3.     The Registration Statement; and

     4.     The Consulting Agreements.

We have assumed, for purposes of this opinion, that all signatures
appearing in all documents, whether or not shown to us, are valid

there exist no modifications to any thereof; that the documents
submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies of original
documents conform to such original documents; that the originals of
such certified or photostatic copies are authentic; that all
signatories have adequate authority and have taken all actions
necessary to execute and deliver all of the documents delivered to
us, and that such documents are enforceable against all such other
parties; and the legal capacity of natural persons.

     Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, subject
to compliance with the applicable federal and state securities
laws, the Common Stock, when issued in accordance with the
Consulting Agreements and, where applicable, when sold and paid for
pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the Consulting
Agreements, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     We are opining herein as to the effect on the subject
transaction only of United States federal securities laws and the

           -------------------------------------

Not applicable.

ITEM 6  -  INDEMNIFICATION
           ---------------

Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.751 permits a corporation to
indemnify officers, directors, employees and agents in civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative actions under certain
circumstances.  To the extent that a director, officer, employee or
agent of a corporation has been successful in defense of certain
actions enumerated in Section 78.751, he must be indemnified by the
corporation against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually
and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense. 
Section 78.751 further provides that the articles of incorporation,
the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that
the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a
civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the
corporation as they are incurred, subject to reimbursement if a
court determines that such officer or director is not entitled to
indemnification.

Article VI of the Company's Articles of Incorporation provides as
follows:

     1.  Elimination of Certain Liability of Directors.  To the
fullest extent provided by law, a director of the corporation shall
not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except
for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty
to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) for acts or omissions which would
give rise to liability under NRS 78.145, 78.295, 78.300, or any
successor supplemented or similar Nevada law or any Nevada law
which expressly imposes liabilities on directors of corporations,
or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit.

     2.  Indemnification and Insurance.  The corporation to the
full extent of its power to do so, shall indemnify all directors,
officers, employees and/or agents in accordance with the provisions
of Section 78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes or any successor
supplemented or similar Nevada law.  Further, the corporation shall
have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation as
a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation,

                                11
ITEM 6 - cont...

partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any
liability asserted against him in any such capacity or arising out
of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have
the power to indemnify him against such liability under the
provisions of Nevada law.

ITEM 9  -  UNDERTAKINGS
           ------------

(1)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Act may
     be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
     the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
     otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion
     of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
     indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
     Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a
     claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
     payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a

                                12
ITEM 9 - cont...

     director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
     the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
     asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
     connection with the securities being registered, the
     Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
     matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
     court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
     indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
     the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
     issue.

               Consultant Service Agreements
               ----------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We, as special counsel to Marquee Entertainment, Inc., a
Nevada corporation (the "Company"), have examined the Registration
Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") which the
Company intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, of an aggregate of 260,000 shares of the
Company's common stock, par value of $.04 (the "Common Stock")
issuable pursuant to certain consulting agreements between the
Company and Barry M. Ross and Camille A. de Tournillen,
respectively (the "Consulting Agreements").

     In rendering the following opinion, we have examined and
relied only upon the documents as specifically described below:

     1.     Copies of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of
Company, certified by the Secretary of the Company to be true,
correct and complete copies thereof;

     2.     Copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the
Company approving the Consulting Agreements and the Registration
Statement;

     3.     The Registration Statement; and

     4.     The Consulting Agreements.

We have assumed, for purposes of this opinion, that all signatures
appearing in all documents, whether or not shown to us, are valid
or genuine; that the documents examined by us are complete, and
there exist no modifications to any thereof; that the documents
submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies of original
documents conform to such original documents; that the originals of
such certified or photostatic copies are authentic; that all
signatories have adequate authority and have taken all actions
necessary to execute and deliver all of the documents delivered to
us, and that such documents are enforceable against all such other
parties; and the legal capacity of natural persons.

     Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, subject
to compliance with the applicable federal and state securities
laws, the Common Stock, when issued in accordance with the
Consulting Agreements and, where applicable, when sold and paid for
pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the Consulting
Agreements, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     We are opining herein as to the effect on the subject
transaction only of United States federal securities laws and the
corporate laws of the State of Nevada.  We assume no responsibility
as to the applicability to the subject transactions or the effect
thereon of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

     We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.  Notwithstanding delivery of this consent
and opinion, we shall not be deemed to be experts with respect to
any part of the Registration Statement within the meaning of the
term "expert" as used in Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.

                                Very truly yours,
