Rating: 3/4 -- How thoroughly does Joan Crawford own Grand Hotel? She makes Greta Garbo superfluous. Full Review

Each and every performer in the screened "Grand Hotel" does a remarkable piece of work. To us, Garbo is the supreme of magnificence. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- The first great portmanteau film. Full Review

Rating: 8/10 -- A tremendously sturdy, thoroughly unimaginative, and massively entrancing sample of the early-'30s Hollywood machine doing everything exactly right. Full Review
Antagony & Ecstasy
Jun 4, 2015
A commercial picture of high box office potential, first by assembling the most impressive aggregation so far of strictly Bradstreet screen names, and then by filming the play practically unaltered in form. Full Review

As it is, the hotel is well filled. Full Review
TIME Magazine

Less effective as a movie than as a dazzling parade of star iconography. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

"People come. People go. Nothing ever happens," one world-weary patron (Lewis Stone) of Berlin's finest hotel comments. Movie audiences knew better. They were witnessing the glorious comings, goings and intersecting stories of a starry array billed as "the greatest cast on stage or screen history!"

Ruined aristocrat John Barrymore. Terminally ill clerk Lionel Barrymore. Ruthless tycoon Wallace Beery. Scheming stenographer Joan Crawford. And disillusioned ballerina Greta Garbo. Teaming them was a masterstroke whose success fostered more star-packed extravaganzas. The radiant film captured the 1931-32 Best Picture Academy Award. What a Grand showcase of the allure and style of classic moviemaking!
