	Grand Hotel Vesuvio
		It needed foreign visionaries to build the hotel in 1882, because the city still had not recovered from the outbreak of the volcano Vesuvio in 1872 and, in 1884, the cholera epidemic killed thousands in Naples because of poor hygienic conditions.
		Hotel owner Fiorentino, in collaboration with his nephew Gino, who later took control of the company, made sure that the furniture remained unchanged, with the exception of the additional two new floors.
		Not only was the Hotel Vesuvio freshened up by its private investors, but the city of Naples renovated for instance its public spaces and its general appearance, with the help of public money both domestic and foreign.

	Grand Hotel, 1931/32
		Grand Hotel was hugely popular in its day, mainly because of its incredible cast, and holds up to this day, also because of its incredible cast.
		And yes, it was this film where she uttered that now famous line, that became the tagline for her career when she retired in 1941.

	Theatre Reviews Limited: "Grand Hotel"
		In 1932 MGM released the Academy Award winning film "Grand Hotel" starring Greta Garbo and Lionel Barrymore, and in 1958 the first musical version titled "At the Grand" starring Paul Muni was produced in California, though the Broadway bound show never reached the east coast when Muni abandoned the project.
		Lumpkin must blend the fantasy world of the Berlin hotel; one of the final bastions of the idle rich, with the stark reality of a fragile post war economy, which is increasingly pervading through the hotel's gilded revolving door.
		"Grand Hotel" works better as a social drama than a period musical, and for all of Lumpkin's considerable directing talents, there is only so much that can be achieved with a musical that doesn't contain a single memorable tune.

	taoyue.com: Film Reviews - Grand Prix (1966)
		It's surprising that the film was shot in 70mm instead of 35mm — using film that was twice as heavy and moved 25% faster surely made the racing scenes more difficult to shoot than necessary.
		But this Super Panavision film was originally shown on Cinerama screens, and the long sequences of first-person POVs, shot from the front of a car going over a hundred miles per hour, must have been as enthralling on giant screens as IMAX films are today.
		Despite its uneven nature, Grand Prix is sort of a guilty pleasure, a film that has terrific action scenes and is decent overall, and also happens to be quite educational for anyone who is not into Formula One racing.

		Grand Hotel's post- Wall Street Crash advice to the deserving poor is to win lots of money gambling, so they can go to Paris with Joan Crawford and her bags of new lingerie.
		The Berlin Grand Hotel, because people paid in hard (i.e., non-German) currencies there, was an oasis of ostentatious wealth in a sea of poverty and chaos.

		The film embraces melodrama without hesitation and seems more entertaining than it might be if it beat around the bush.

		Grand Hotel is a great deal of fun and an excellent chance to see some famous faces in their prime.
		But if GRAND HOTEL is distinctly of its era in terms of visual style, it is also distinctly of its era in terms of performance, and it is here that we run into a bit of trouble.
		In many respects, GRAND HOTEL is a study of the struggle to invent this new way of acting; some of the performers are excessively large, some are in transition between silent and sound modes, and some are distinctly modern in their approach.

		Established in 1849, the Grand Hotel at Railway Square was for many years the quiet watering hole for a small number of Sydney's printers, dock and brewery workers - until its back room became home to an array of social outsiders and underground music lovers.
		Photographic negatives, prints, clippings, cassette tape and film of that period are beginning to degrade and corrode.
		The first stage of the project is to digitise existing documents from that time in order to preserve a record of what was a unique part of the city's social history.

		Other than being one of those rare films of the 1930s to be constantly revived, if not overplayed, on television over the past decades, it has stood the test of time solely due its impressive all-star cast.
		While GRAND HOTEL could have told its stories in separate segments, it's done as one film focusing on separate characters through different time frames.
		The Grand Hotel happens to be the most expensive and luxurious hotel in Berlin.

		But striding through the hotel's lobby, swathed in chinchilla, remote in her fabled Swedish melancholy, 'acting' hope swirling above a heavy heart, she really is the most extraordinary monstre sacre the screen will ever know.
		MGM shrewdly marketed this film by withholding its general release for many months after its Hollywood premiere, allowing a tremendous word-of-mouth campaign to heighten expectation from viewers and critics alike.
		In 1945, GRAND HOTEL was remade as the lightweight WEEKEND AT THE WALDORF with Ginger Rogers, Lana Turner, Walter Pidgeon, Van Johnson, and Edward Arnold in the lead roles."

	DVD.net : Grand Hotel - DVD Review
		And that Broadway play was funded by a film company, MGM, which had bought film rights to the novel for $35,000.
		The key plot is the redemption of John Barrymore's character, the Baron, who comes to the Grand Hotel to steal Grusinskaya's fabled pearls and finds his heart is stolen instead.
		In fact, for the most part the acting is pretty modern in style for a film made in 1932 - the only member of the ensemble whose acting style now seems too dated and completely over-the-top is Greta Garbo, who seems to be playing a parody of herself.
