The Last Man (released in America under the title The Last Laugh) is the story of a personal tragedy:  An aging hotel doorman loses his identity and his prestige after being fired from his job. He is then mercilessly humiliated by society.

Murnau’s film, almost entirely without intertitles, is regarded as a milestone in film history and the height of German silent film cinema.
