Review of Grand Hotel (2008) by Ken S — 05 Apr 2014
This star-studded effort is a fine drama film from the Golden Age of Hollywood, featuring several characters with different stories that intersect, as everyone is staying at the same place, The Grand Hotel.
It features great performances from Greta Garbo (who delivers her most famous line), Joan Crawford, and both John and Lionel Barrymore. I never would've guessed from watching him here that Lionel Barrymore is the same man that played Mr.
Potter in "It's A Wonderful Life". I like this, the direction is absolutely excellent, the open moving from one character to another in the lobby seamlessly is just as impressive today as it must've been so many decades ago.
