■ GRAND HOTEL

TCM, 10:15 p.m.

Catch a Classic! “People come. People go. Nothing ever happens,” one world-weary patron (Lewis Stone) of Berlin’s finest hotel comments in this legendary 1932 drama. But movie audiences knew (and still know) better. In what is indeed a grand showcase for the allure and style of classic filmmaking, and a production that set the stage for all “starstudde­d” big-screen teamings of popular actors to come, filmgoers were witnessing the glorious comings, goings and intersecti­ng stories of a blindingly bright array of stars that was billed not entirely hyperbolic­ally as “the greatest cast ever assembled.” Ruined aristocrat John Barrymore. Terminally ill clerk Lionel Barrymore. Ruthless tycoon Wallace Beery. Scheming stenograph­er Joan Crawford. And disillusio­ned ballerina Greta Garbo, who made film history when she uttered, “I want to be alone.” Putting them all together was a masterstro­ke whose success fostered similar star-packed extravagan­zas and helped net the film a Best Picture Oscar.
