The Best Report of 1931-2 “Large Hotel” deserved it’s Oscar and deserves it’s position in history as a forerunner of star-studded films to approach. The cast alone is worth watching the film for. But the film stands on it’s beget as well and is smoothly done considering the intertwining stories of various people whose paths (and fates) inappropriate in that posh Berlin establishment. Greta Garbo as a gloomy ballerina is one reason to inspect this but there’s John and Lionel Barrymore in grand roles, Joan Crawford as an ambitious stenographer with just issues, Wallace Beery and other recognizable actors in character roles. Warner Bros. has done a gracious job with the DVD print so this is definitely a collector’s item. There are some fabulous interior shots inside the hotel with a unbelievable art deco contemplate to them. This hotel where “nothing ever happens” is a must for vintage classic film lovers. It’s a rare fancy that’s been wonderfully preserved for future film lovers to devour. Peep it for a classic glimpse at what going to the movies in the 30’s customary to be about.
“Immense Hotel” concerns guests staying at Berlin’s Mountainous Hotel. There’s the high strung, tempermental ballerina (Greta Garbo), the sassy vamp-like stenographer (Joan Crawford), the boorish industrialist (Wallace Beery), the stricken labourer (Lionel Barrymore) and the devilishly graceful baron (John Barrymore) . These seemingly separate lives substandard over - some happily so, others with tragic circumstances - all thoroughly animated and brilliantly performed. At the time of its release “Expansive Hotel” was the first movie to feature more than one star above the title credits.

TRANSFER: After years of looking as though the camera negative had been fed through a meat grinder, this DVD digital remastering is a worthy improvement. Having said that, a lot of work is peaceful needed to score this one looking up to par. Solid blacks are about the best thing on this DVD. Inequity levels appear too obscene in many of the scenes. There are a much number of age related artifacts and quite a bit of film grain indicate on this 70 plus year aged classic. The audio has been extensively cleaned up but continues to prove great utter. Truly, if this is a special edition it’s one of the poorest I’ve seen.
EXTRAS: Some featurettes that round out the history - if too briefly, of this classic film.
BOTTOM LINE: “Gigantic Hotel” is undeniably fascinating and a knowing Oscar winner that is positive to enthrall for decades to reach! For the film and NOT the transfer, this is an absolute must for your film library!!!
