Oscar Night Sunday: The Grand Hotel

The Grand Hotel IMDb
So my first Oscar Sunday movie this year I wanted to start with Wings (the very first movie to win an Oscar).  That movie was hard to get at the moment.  So I went this 1932 Oscar Winner.  Didn't know what to expect at all.  I like the first 20 minutes of this.  It seemed like a big play. The next hour was so and so.  I lost interest in it.  I fell asleep for like 10 minutes.  The last part was pretty good.  I thought the murder (in self defence, kind of) was rushed a bit.  This is a movie from the 30's after all.  Excellent shots.  Cool strange characters.  That's about it.  Definitely not a movie I would like to see over and over.
