The Last Laugh/ Der Letzte Mann was a 1924 B&W silent film about the changing fortunes of a hotel doorman. Directed by F. W. Murnau (Nosferatu, Faust) and written by Carl Mayer (Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Sunrise), it is noteworthy for its use of a moving camera (one of the first to do so) and near lack of intertitles. Pushed to the brink of obscurity throughout the years, it is shared here for new movie lovers to discover and enjoy.
As far as I can tell, this film is in the public domain. I will take it down if asked.
This is the best silent film that I've seen so far, and the earliest of my favorite movies.
