An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Der Letzte Mann (released in the U.S. as "The Last Laugh"), the classic 1924 F.W. Murnau silent German change-in-social-status melodrama ("A story just like a page from life. A tear or two, some heart throbs, smiles, laughs, and a big happy ending. All Europe raved over it. All England saw it. All America talked about it. Every Australian will want to see it. It will make you cry - it will make you laugh - this wonderful unusual master picture"; about the aging doorman of a hotel, who loses his job and thus his social status plummets, and how the world reacts to him and how he reacts to the major change in his life) starring Emil Jannings ("The world's foremost character actor"), Maly Delschaft, Max Hiller, Emilie Kurz, and Hans Unterkircher. Note that at the time this movie was made, being a doorman at a quality hotel was a prestigious job, a job that people in the working class aspired to, so losing it was a major blow to the main character in the movie. It is not a movie that could be remade today without major changes, but everyone agrees it is a classic movie, both for the performance of Jannings and for the direction of Murnau!

Important Added Info: Note that this still is unlike almost all key book stills we have ever seen (we had a handful like this over the years, including two from "Flesh and the Devil")! Not only does it have an image of nine great still images joined together, but it also has full credits and a complete plot summary printed on the back! It is glued to a linen-like backing (it originally had an extra 1" on the left with punch holes, but that area was trimmed away). Apparently this was something that was done beginning in 1924, and we had thought that it was a very brief experiment, but now we have seen another one from 1936, so we know it continued for at least twelve years, but they are really incredibly rare and really cool! Condition: very good. The left 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). Otherwise, the still is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
