Ernst Lubitsch was another very underrated director who didn't get the Oscar recognition he deserved.

I'm about the biggest Greta Garbo fan you could find and I agree that "Grand Hotel" didn't deserve best picture. I think an even better choice would have been another Lubitsch picture - "Trouble in Paradise".

- "Some Like It Hot", 1959
