perfect parody of 'Grand Hotel', 6 January 2005
Author: didi-5 from United Kingdom

This clever Vitaphone short has recently been rediscovered and made available on the DVD of the film it is lampooning, 1932's 'Grand Hotel'. The characters are spot-on and well-cast, with some witty name changes - Kringelein becomes Waistline, Flaemmchen becomes Scramchen, Preysing becomes Prizering.

The joy of this short isn't just its affectionate pot-shots at the original film, but in its musical numbers and general lightheadedness. It is fun to watch and a perfect accompaniment to an already great film. I don't mind 'Grand Hotel' being sent up at all, and 'Nothing Ever Happens' is certainly worth saving and worth a look.
