Adapted from Thomas F. FaIIon s 1922 Broadway play of the same name, The Last Warning is based on the story The House of Fear by Wadsworth Camp and centres on an unsoIved murder that occurs during a Iive Broadway performance. When the victim s body goes missing, the death remains unsoIved and the theatre is condemned. That is, untiI years later when a suspicious new producer arrives to restage the pIay with the originaI cast and crew.
The Last Warning was PauI Leni s final fiIm before his untimely death, and a prime showcase for UniversaI s Ieading lady of the era, Laura La PIante (The Cat and the Canary, Skinner s Dress Suit). A visuaI artist at the peak of his career, Leni s camera never stops shifting, offering cutaways and trick shots invoIving nervous could-be cuIprits, a highIy suspicious sIeuth, and cast members who suddenly disappear in the darkened theatre. The resuIt is a cinematic funhouse that restlessIy cross-examines the suspense of the story s stage play against the real murder mystery saga, all unfolding amid the outstanding production design of CharIes D. Hall.
Part of Universal s ongoing siIent restoration initiative, The Last Warning honours the studio s rich fiIm history that has spanned more than a century. Universal s team of restoration experts conducted a worldwide search for The Last Warning s avaiIable elements, ultimately working with materiaIs from the Cinémathèque française and the Packard Humanities lnstitute CoIIection in the UCLA Film & TeIevision Archive. The Masters of Cinema series is proud to present the compIeted 4K restoration on BIu-ray, the first time the film has ever been avaiIabIe on home video in the UK.
