    Everyone has their own story, and a life is being staged here. There are ballet dancers who are not loved by the audience and have no love, there are clerks who decide to spend all their thrifty money and change their way of life because of their illness, and there are ruthless, selfish and lustful phoenixes. A speculative man, a kind-hearted but greedy little typist, and a baron who has a noble aura above his head, but is actually penniless and makes a living by gambling and stealing. The role...

    In the first few phone calls, the lives of several people began to intertwine in a day at the "Grand Hotel". The real lady Garbo and the real gentleman and poor baron have a love that ignites and flees. The little secretary goes around as a lover and a partner and entrusts himself to him. It is a perfect match for a clerk who is terminally ill and has fun but finds meaning in life. The foreman's wife, who had been having a difficult time, finally gave birth, "Blue Danube" finally sounded, and...

    The roles of Garbo and Crawford are typical, and the roles of the two Barrymores are interesting. But almost all of the characters' personalities are revealed by their lines, which makes the storyline too...

    In 1932, you can parade on the walls of high-rise buildings, and the most imaginative is still foreigners! !...

    I saw the beginning, but did not expect the end. However, this may be the main theme of the Grand...

    Back then, it was very difficult to invite five protagonists to make a movie. This one has only the last name and the other has only German accent. Now, if you pick one, there are dozens of stars...

    The fallen flower tree is still in the hotel

    Joan Crawford's acting is really good. With her appearance, I think the best thing about this movie is her. Neither the honest Gran nor the gentleman's baron, nor the cunning Pushinkin could compare to her. for moneny, why not anyone, she can promise Pushinkin's private secretary, can promise...

    Grand Hotel (1932)—The 5th Oscar for Best Picture
                                    
           Grand Hotel is like a microcosm of a society. Different characters and different destinies are cleverly intertwined, but separated quietly. I have watched a few TV series on the theme of hotel, but most of the...

Grand Hotel quotes

  • Dr. Otternschlag: And what do you do in the Grand Hotel? Eat. Sleep. Loaf around. Flirt a little, dance a little. A hundred doors leading to one hall. No one knows anything about the person next to them. And when you leave, someone occupies your room, lies in your bed... that's the end.

  • [first lines]

    Senf: [talking on the phone in a phonebooth at the Grand Hotel after a brief scene of operators at the switchboard] Hello? Hello? Hello, is that the clinic? Uh this is Senf; the head porter, Grand Hotel. How's my wife? Is she in pain? Isn't the child coming soon?... Patience? Would you have patience?

    Otto Kringelein: [in the next phonebooth] Uh this is Otto Kringelein. I-i-is that you Heinrich? Oh Heinrich listen, I've got to talk very quickly - with every minute costs two Marks ninety. Y-ya know that will I made before I had my operation? Well I want you to tear it up... Huh? W-e-I came to Berlin to see a great specialist about that old trouble of mine; y-you know Heinrich, i-it's pretty bad. Uh he says I haven't long to live... I say he says I won't live much longer!... No, it isn't nice to be told things like that. You plague and bother and save and all of the sudden you're dead. I want to get something out of life! Listen Heinrich, I'm *never* going back to Frieveshof, *never*. I-I'm staying here at the Grand Hotel; it's the most expensive hotel in Berlin. Y-eh all the best people stay here, even our big boss Preysing is staying here. I'm going to tell him someday just exactly what I think of him.

    Preysing: [in the next phonebooth] Hello? Hello, miss? This is General Director Preysing. I want my home in Frieveshof, please. Hurry, yeah... Hello! Hello. Is that you mama? How are da children? What news have you found at da factory dear?... Ya. Is your papa there?... Good. Hello papa, is that you?... Ya. The conference with the Saxonia company's set for tomorrow morning papa... Ya, ya. If the merger does not go through, ve are in very bad shape papa... Ya, ya. Everything depends upon news from Manchester! If the deal with the Manchester Cotton Company does not go through, we are facing a very bad situation papa.

    Suzette: [in the next phonebooth] I'm Suzette - Suzette: Madam Grusinskaya's maid. Madam will not dance today. No she will not go to the rehearsal; she did not sleep all night. There is something preying on her mind... No, I give her a tablet of degranol. She is sleeping now.

    Baron Felix von Geigern: [in the next phonebooth] This is Baron von Geigern. Look here, I need money or I can't stay at this hotel much longer. Well I've layed the groundwork, know the exact position of her room, and I've made friends with her ballet master Pimenov.

    Otto Kringelein: [back in his phonebooth, sincerely] Listen Heinrich, I've taken all my savings - everything; and I'm going to enjoy spending it, *all* of it. I-it's terribly expensive here Heinrich, oooohh but it's wonderful!

    Senf: [back in his phonebooth, nervously] I can't, I'll lose my job! It's like being in jail.

    Preysing: [back in his phonebooth, adamantly] Rely on me papa. I will make this merger go through, I never fail.

    Suzette: [back in her phonebooth, frantically] Oh poor Madam, her mind is tortured. I'm afraid she will...

    Baron Felix von Geigern: [back in his phonebooth, slyly] I don't need advice, thanks very much; I need money.

    Otto Kringelein: [back in his phonebooth, excitedly] ... music all the time - oh it's wonderful.

    Dr. Otternschlag: [sitting in a chair in the lobby smoking a cigar] Grand Hotel: people coming, going... nothing ever happens.
