grand hotel be one of the best film i have ever see . it romantic and tragic and funny and completely irresistible . the plot be great . the story would even make a good screenplay today . and the actor be brilliant . garbo shine a the lonely ballerina and and give the best performance in the movie . there something so sparkling and human about her acting . i fall in love with her everytime she see on screen . and this movie be no exception . a for the rest of the cast while theyre great . although joan crawford character be a bit anonymous . but her talent and beauty make the most of it . highly recommended .
