At a grand hotel in Berlin. At that time, the whole of Germany was shrouded in the shadow of an economic crisis. Many people from different social classes gathered in the luxurious grand hotel. Among them were the financially troubled tycoon Preysinger, the aging ballet dancer Grusinskaia who wanted to end her life due to fading beauty, the old baron Von Geigen who lost everything to gambling and now lived by theft, the elderly Klinger, a former associate of Preysinger in his twilight years, and the young and beautiful yet greedy stenographer Franling, among others. This film, a Best Picture winner at the 5th Oscars, is MGM's representative work that pioneered the "all-star movie" in the early 1930s. The entire film takes the luxurious hotel in Berlin as the stage of life, portraying the bizarre encounters of five groups of characters on the same day. Although the narrative technique is quite conventional, the performances of several major stars are quite splendid, fully capturing the personalities and circumstances of their roles, including: the Russian ballet star facing a career crisis, the gambling baron, a small-time character suffering from a terminal illness, and an entrepreneur. These roles enact the joys and sorrows of life in an interwoven three-line narrative, with a smooth plot development. Although the scenes are limited to the grand hotel, the characters move about naturally. The story reappears in later films "Hotel Berlin" and "Weekend at the Waldorf," and has been adapted into a Broadway musical.
