    Joan Crawford and her rival Betty Davis are fans of Garbo, but the latter is not as fanatical as the former. Crawford once said that in front of the mysterious Garbo, "Knees are straight and soft. Her beauty is breathtaking, and you want to bend the lace edge for a while." Because of this, I heard that there is no idol in the film. She was very disappointed during the scene. Even Garbo once asked the director, "Why didn't I have the same scene with Miss Crawford?" To this Edmund Goulding...

    In grand hotel, people come; people go. Nothing have ever happened (just like the way life always remains). In addition, is the power of love really that big? Really jealous. Why I never felt...

    The story is not too good, the structure is rigid. This is the first time I have seen low-level matching errors in a blockbuster film. Was the film too expensive at that...

    People come and go, who cares about whom

    "Iron-beaten restaurant, running water guest." From the angel's perspective, the restaurant's spiral staircase rippled like circles, like an all-encompassing kaleidoscope, and people of all colors appeared on the stage. Even if they were dressed in glamorous fashion, they could not escape the "eye...

    "The Grand Hotel": The first masterpiece of the "All-Star Movie"

    In the famous "Grand Hotel", the hysterical ballerina played by Greta Garbo said: I want to be alone. So this sentence became the symbol of Greta Garbo. Everyone knows that the mysterious, glamorous, mature, fragile, sexy and neurotic woman needs to be alone at all times. "The Grand Hotel", which...

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.
