  • The Last Laugh is a German 1924 silent film directed by German director F. W. Murnau from a screenplay written by Carl Mayer. It is the most famous example of the short-lived Kammerspiel or "chamber-drama" genre. This was one of the first films to incorporate a moving camera, although references to cameras following characters up stairs in Murnau's earlier film, Der Januskopf, may point to an even earlier use.
