"Der Letze Mann" (The Last Laugh) (1924)
When: Thursday, October 9, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Where: Chapel Lawn, Vassar College (rain location: Taylor Hall, room 203)
The world of an esteemed doorman for a stylish Berlin hotel collapses when an insensitive new manager demotes him to washroom duty, but good men always have the last laugh. A forerunner of the “German invasion” in Hollywood during the mid-to late- 1920s, the film is easily regarded as a classic of German silent cinema.

Where: Chapel Lawn, Vassar College (rain location: Taylor Hall, room 203)

Branded with a guilty M on his back, the murderer is recaptured by the police, and again put on trial.
