For [livejournal.com profile] thornyc, [livejournal.com profile] naylandblake, [livejournal.com profile] progbear and others - have you seen The Last Laugh (Der Letzte Mann)?

It's got cigars, pipes, big moustaches, and boot polishing, along with the most severe case of uniform fetish on the planet. And don't you wish they had such attentive washroom attendants nowadays? It's totally silent with no dialogue or captions, but the story explains itself quite well. Kind of a silly story, I won't give away the plot twist, but it's well worth the hour and a half.

It's also very well made. I'm impressed at how the art of film seemed to pop out of nowhere in the 20's fully mature, with hardly any significant development in the eighty years that followed. I guess it was so expensive, they had to really think about what they were doing.
