About this product

Product Information

One of the most brilliant of all German silent films, F.W. Murnau's THE LAST LAUGH uses a constantly moving and subjective camera to capture the emotional anguish of a man whose life is suddenly devoid of meaning. Because of his age, an elderly doorman at a hotel finds himself ignominiously demoted to washroom attendant. Particularly galling to the poor man is the loss of his uniform, which gives him pride and prestige. Crestfallen, he spends the day wandering the city, getting drunk and dreaming of suicide, mourning the loss of his dignity, and trying desperately to hang on to a shred of hope.

The Last Laugh dvd
This was a very good movie. The story, although a little unbelievable at the end was very good. The actors were all very good and the music score was also very good. The documentary and the restored German version on disc one were excellent. Both discs were in excellent condition and played well. The only problem was the jewel case which necessitated a trip to my local used DVD store to buy another case. Luckily there was another one in perfect shape just like the case that was sent to me.

I love this movie. The restored version ...
I love this movie. The restored version comes with it, and a joy to watch. It has a dual ending. This film is still applicable to today.
