Résumés(1)
A cause de l'admiration de ses voisins pour son bel uniforme, un vieux portier d'hôtel se prend pour une sorte de prince. Ses employeurs surprennent son essoufflement lorsqu'il doit soulever une lourde malle. Il est muté sans ménagement au gardiennage des toilettes, et sa livrée lui est retirée... (Films sans Frontières)
Critiques (2)
The perfection of The Last Laugh's legacy is marred only by a minor detail - the existence of a remake from the 1950s that took the story somewhere completely different. Whereas in this version, it's a joy to spend time with every frame of the film.

This camera likes Emil Jannings. And why not. He is one of the most interesting actors of his time. However, the camera also likes change. It does not focus on one scene for long, but there are quite frequent cuts that incredibly enliven the film. In addition, intertitles are essentially missing here. This is definitely one of the more interesting films of the silent era. It was also shot by Murnau. Expressionism is quite evident in some places.
