Summary:

Directed by Wilhelm Friedrich Murnau. The experienced doorman at the Atlantic Hotel is quite proud of his position, his responsibilities, and his uniform. One busy, rainy night, he has to take a short rest after lugging a heavy suitcase in from the rain. Unfortunately, his manager comes by during the short time when he is not performing his duties. The next day, when the doorman arrives for work, he learns that he has been replaced as doorman, and has been re-assigned to the less strenuous but purely menial position of washroom attendant. Stunned and humiliated, the old man struggles to carry on with his life. Featuring Emil Jannings, Maly Delschaft, Max Hiller. Country of production: Germany. (With English subtitles.) Also released as Der letzte Mann. Some World Cinema titles may contain mature themes or content. Viewer discretion is advised
