David Crumm’s Reviews > Grand Hotel > Status Update

What a fascinating reading experience! One of my favorite movies is the 1932 Grand Hotel from MGM. Recently, I saw someone on Goodreads enjoying the original novel, so I thought I would do the same thing. What I discovered is that I can't help "seeing" the cast of the film as I read. I just finished the dramatic "cat burglar" sequence in which the Baron scales the outside of the hotel. I saw John Barrymore as I read.
