"Históricamente reconocido como el primer film que explotó el movimiento de cámara, todo un clásico del cine mudo del maestro Murnau. Narra cómo un portero de un lujoso hotel, un anciano orgulloso de su trabajo y respetado por todos, es bruscamente degradado a mozo de los lavabos. Privado de su antiguo trabajo y del uniforme que le identifica, intenta ocultar su nueva condición, pero su vida se desintegra lentamente."

"The crowning achievement of the German expressionist movement and one of the most notable artworks to arise from the Weimar Republic is Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau's The Last Laugh. Emil Jannings stars in the bleak fable of an aging doorman whose happiness crumbles when he is relieved of the duties and uniform which had for years been the foundation of his pride. Through Jannings' colossal performance, The Last Laugh becomes more than the plight of a single doorman, but a dramatization of the frustration of the working class. The young film critic Marcel Carne described the film's cinematography in 1929 in the following terms: "The camera on a trolley glides, rises, zooms, or weaves where the story takes it. It is no longer fixed but takes part in the action and becomes a character in the drama.""
