Variety Staff Variety In direction and camerawork the picture stands out, but the story isn't one that is going to give anyone a great thrill. Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Mordaunt Hall New York Times After the fanfare of panegyrics from more or less prejudiced sources, Hotel Imperial, Pola Negri's new photoplay, hardly lives up to expectations. It is, nevertheless, an interesting film with some cleverly directed scenes. Mar 25, 2006 Full Review Robert E.
