I own the dvd but I haven't watched it yet. Now I will have to sit down and do so very quickly prior to deciding whether to spend some more money.

It won the Academy Award for best picture in 1932.

Not heard of this myself either, I'm surprised so many classic films are getting the Steelbook treatment. The more variety the better though!

Is this Warners actually showing a bit of sense and appealling to a wider audience ?? I do hope so.

Okay, so I watched my dvd version today. I am mainly an action film or comedy film type of guy but I still own many drama style flicks and both modern and older films that I greatly appreciate. I thought the film was just okay. It is a drama style film revolving around several characters staying at the Grand Hotel, a hotel for the rich and famous as the name implies. If you are interested, I would encourage you to check out more complete reviews on other sites.

Looks horrible and not even close to the mock up artwork on the OP.

I think it's like A Streetcar Named Desire where the actual yellow tone on the picture is really silver on the Steelbook.

I always wanted to have this one, but damned!!! lol it took me forever, better late than never right, I joke aside I’m glad finally I get this in my collection! I remember those days when I wanted to have a lot of Steelbooks but I was broke all the time, that’s way I passed on a lot of the classics…
