I realize that 81 years ago there were maybe 5% of the movies made per year compared to what we see nowadays, but still this shouldn't have won best picture.
My guess is they had 3-4 stuidos back then and all films were shot on location on those studios. They didn't have the camera's, technology, money, travel arrangements that are easy to set up, etc. I get all that but really this movie is a dissapoints. I wonder if winning the Oscar back then was all about the line up in the movie more than the movie itself- in this case Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, John Barrymore, and Lionel Barrymore all teamed up as big time movie stars of that time for this movie.
The story is about a bunch of individuals staying in the same hotel and how their lives interact. I was hoping for a twist at the end, something to guess, some drama... nothing. What a snoozer. 1 star.

OUCH, I have this in my Que but after this review I think I am going to remove it. I have read good reviews on this, but like you I was hoping there was some sort of twist at the end. This makes me sad.
