Storyline

The terminally ill Mr. Waistline wants the best room in the hotel, so that he can enjoy himself while he still can. The Baron befriends him and graciously gives up his own room. Meanwhile, the great dancer 'Madam' is despondent and does not want to perform. The Baron slips into her room to steal her pearls, but then tries to comfort her. Prizering is at the hotel with an attractive stenographer, hoping to close a big business deal. And yet there are still those who say that 'nothing ever happens here.' Written by Snow Leopard

perfect parody of 'Grand Hotel'
6 January 2005 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

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.
