1931-1932 Grand Hotel: "Grand Hotel... always the same. People come, people go. Nothing ever happens."

1931-1932 Grand Hotel

Greta Garbo, the Barrymores, Joan Crawford...an okay movie following multiple characters staying in the Grand Hotel.  Didn't love it, but it was okay.  Felt sad for Greta Garbo's character, knowing that she would probably go back into depression when her love failed to appear at the end.

Most memorable for me was Garbo's famous line: "I vant to be left alone."  She was an unusual actress -didn't fit the typical mold, but with definite star power. 

The movie as a whole wasn't overly gripping.

    Kaleena, I found Gabor over-the-top. How about Joan Crawford? Her character was smart and sexy. Did those overhead and panning shots, such as the switchboard operators, do anything for you? There's some neat things to see in this Oscar winner.
