The Last Laugh (Der Letzte Mann) is a 1924 silent film by German director F. W. Murnau and screenwriter Carl Mayer based on a Broadway play by Charles W. Goddard. It is the most famous example of the short-lived Kammerspiel or "chamber-drama" genre. The film concerns a hotel doorman who loses his job and all the perks and honors that go with it. Mayer was forced to add a happy ending to help the film appeal to mass audiences.
