Grand Hotel/DVD

This old movie, remastered in DVD, was in excellent shape and was received in a very short time of ordering. Would order from this company again.

A 1930's classic
Added 9/17/2009
For the 30's classic film collector. "THE" cast of the 1930's intertwined in a great script and storyline. If you are a 1930's film fanatic then you have to be nuts to NOT own this one. Entertainment, VALUE - VALUE - VALUE. Trust me on this one folks ( really - I'm not in Congress ).

just a classic
Added 5/18/2009
With Greta Garbo opposite John Barrymore you get you money's worth with this one: the film quality of this version sometimes lets you down,
but not the acting. They weren't all stars when this came out, but many of the character roles are played by screen greats like Wallace Beery and Joan Crawford ( very young here). The Baron( jewel thief) and the Russian ballet dancer makes for some very important acting in this movie.
I liked it!

Barrymore and Garbo
Added 5/11/2009
I found this film a very high-quality, well-appointed DVD product for the old movie collector or the Barrymore afficionado. John Barrymore at his romantic best as a movie star, probably in his waning years but nevertheless dashing and effective as the tarnished and destitute society leech and jewel thief. The scenes with Garbo are historic. And a young Joan Crawford is beguiling as an impressionistic secretary. Her beauty is mysterious and timeless. Great resolution in the transfer, clear and sharp and beautifully black & white. My research into John Barrymore's life and career was greatly enhanced by this DVD. Hopefully, archival material like this film will be marketed and promoted better in the future. We have a treasure in Hollywood films like "Grand Hotel."

Saw it once, had to see it again
Added 12/17/2008
After watching this show once on TV, I just had to watch it again. The variety of personalities and their effect on one another is great. The way our actions cause reactions in others is timeless, and this is a perfect example of that.
