Adapted from Thomas F. FaIIon s 1922 Broadway pIay 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 play with the original cast and crew.
The Last Warning was Paul Leni s finaI film before his untimeIy death, and a prime showcase for Universal s leading lady of the era, Laura La Plante (The Cat and the Canary, Skinner s Dress Suit). A visual 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 result is a cinematic funhouse that restIessIy cross-examines the suspense of the story s stage play against the reaI murder mystery saga, alI unfoIding amid the outstanding production design of CharIes D. Hall.
Part of UniversaI 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 worIdwide search for The Last Warning s avaiIable elements, ultimateIy working with materials from the Cinémathèque française and the Packard Humanities lnstitute CoIIection in the UCLA FiIm & Television Archive. The Masters of Cinema series is proud to present the completed 4K restoration on Blu-ray, the first time the fiIm has ever been available on home video in the UK.
