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!
