An Original Vintage Theatrical Australian Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 15" x 40" [38 x 102 cm]) (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 any first release movie paper items from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a German lobby card, and a few other items, but no posters of any kind from this movie until we received this Australian daybill! Also note that it was mounted to a board and must be sent in a large flat package that measures approximately 17" x 42", so bear this in mind before bidding on this incredibly rare poster! Condition: good. The poster was mounted to a heavy board and it has some slight brown staining scattered throughout, but fortunately not very much in Jannings' head. Certainly, a talented restorer could remove the poster from the heavy board and linenback it and perform restoration, but bear its defects and the cost of restoration in mind before bidding on this rare and historic poster!
