		This oddity is probably of little consequence to one's enjoyment of the novel by Vicki Baum.
		Baum produced a novel that highlights Spies' general views, interestingly very much like those of today's usual western visitor to Bali.
		The book never belittles the Balinese with colonialist tactics, and Baum compiled the story from the meticulous notes left to her by Dr. Fabius (longterm resident of Bali).

	Grand Hotel, the Musical a CurtainUp Los Angeles review
		Grand Hotel, The Musical based on Vicki Baum's 1928 novel, has the Berlin setting and cynicism of Cabaret and a human poignance all its own.
		Luther Davis's book reflects that, although the musical genre's upbeat ending convention is honored by way of a a paean to the birth of his son by a minor character.
		The Baum novel became a movie starring John Barrymore, Greta Garbo and Joan Crawford in 1932 and has had other incarnations.

		Poverty Row films were willing to get him on the cheap and use his big star name to sell their cheapie pics.
		In this Anthony Mann directed film noir based on the story "Big Shot" by Vicki Baum, Von Stroheim plays an arrogant, friendless, miserable woman-hating vaudeville sharpshooter, The Great Flamarion, who falls under the spell of a cold-hearted and calculating married woman named Connie Wallace (Mary Beth Hughes).
		It's a cheesy and heavy-handed narrative that is still fun to watch as Von Stroheim goes through the drill of being the wronged man who seeks revenge for being trifled with.
