THE LAST LAUGH
​(1924)
​
starring Emil Jannings

directed by F. W. Munau​

"the great performance of Emil Jannings gives a general human meaning to this story of an insignificant man.  The Last Laugh is a remarkable achievement of film technique thanks to which it acquired a fullness of expression that epitomizes the maturity and narrative fluency characteristic of the hightly developed silent cinema at the threshold of sound."
