Viewing Notes
Maybe the first big production hotel drama? Not much different than the contemporary hotel dramas where a few stories with the guest happen simultaneously yet each is its own story. It’s fine but not really my speed. Even with this all-star cast I didn’t care much for the characters. Still a classic and worth seeing. Joan Crawford is super duper pretty as ever.
Envious of my friends who got to see this at Alamo Ritz in 35mm.
