"Commanding performance by Emil Jannings as an aging doorman of a great hotel, looked on as a symbol of the upper class, who is demoted to washroom attendant after a misdemeanor, and stripped of his cherished uniform. He becomes a broken and tragic figure until coincidence turns him into a millionaire. Performed entitely without title cards ; important for its Kammerspiel style."
