Set in a grand hotel in Berlin. At that time, all of Germany was shrouded in the shadow of an economic crisis. Many people from different social classes gathered in the luxurious hotel. Among them was the struggling financial mogul Preysinger, hiding out to evade the spotlight; the ballet dancer Grusinskaja, who wanted to commit suicide due to fading beauty; the old baron von Gaegen, whose gambling had led him to ruin and resort to theft; Preysinger's former associate, the aged and frail Klingher; and the young, beautiful, yet greedy stenographer Fran Lang, among others. This film, awarded Best Picture at the 5th Oscars, represents MGM's pioneering "all-star film" from the early 1930s. The entire narrative is set in a luxurious hotel in Berlin, depicting the bizarre encounters of five groups of characters on the same day. Although the storytelling is fairly conventional, the performances of several major stars are quite brilliant, fully capturing the personalities and circumstances of their roles, including: the Russian ballet star facing a career crisis, the gambling baron, the little person suffering from a terminal illness, and the entrepreneur. These characters play out the joys and sorrows of life in an intertwined manner, with a smooth plot development. The scenes are limited to the hotel, but the characters move around naturally. The story later reappeared in "Hotel Berlin" and "Weekend at the Waldorf," and was adapted into a Broadway musical.
