Today is another day that we are on both Previous TNT and Daily Cinema Alert, and Grand Hotel happens to be both. If you haven't watched it yet, you should. It has an all-star cast of people staying at a hotel, and the movie follows all of their different stories as their paths intersect. Our other Previous TNT Alert is on much earlier in the morning, immediately after today's #atvdailycinema, and is another film that I think showcases Garbo's talent. Flesh and the Devil is a silent flick about a woman who comes between two old friends; I believe we watched this sometime last year. Finally, today's cinema is one of Garbo's earliest films, the silent romantic drama The Temptress. Garbo plays a woman who destroys the lives of the men around her in her selfish pursuits, but receives her own comeuppance in the end. This one is actually about to come on in a few hours, so don't forget to DVR it. Happy viewing!
