Rope felt more like an experiment. Almost avant-garde. DMFM felt more like he was just trying to keep the integrity of the original play without really drawing attention to the fact that it was a play.
Anyway, just rewatched Grand Hotel
I love this era of Hollywood, when, as art, it could easily go toe-to-toe with anything Europe was producing at the time while as pure entertainment it could teach a thing or two to the big blockbuster directors we have now.
A genuine 10/10 film for me.
