I recently rewatched “Grand Hotel” (1932), directed by Edmund Goulding and produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios.

The story is full of heart-tugging scenarios from a variety of characters that travel in and out of this marvelous hotel. One of the hotel’s permanent residents ironically observes that, “People coming, going—nothing ever happens.”
