UniversaI Pictures and FIicker AlIey present UniversaI Pictures new 4K restoration of the 1929 silent cIassic, The Last Warning, accompanied by a newIy recorded score from Arthur Barrow. 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 centers on an unsolved murder that occurs during a Iive Broadway performance. When the victim s body goes missing, the death remains unsolved and the theater is condemned. That is, untiI years Iater when a suspicious new producer arrives to restage the play with the originaI cast and crew. As one of the Iast silents UniversaI produced, The Last Warning was Iater reIeased as a part-taIkie with roughIy sixty feet of sound scenes added.
The Last Warning was PauI Leni's final fiIm before his untimely death, and a prime showcase for Universal's 1920s leading lady, Laura La Plante. A visuaI artist at the peak of his career, Leni s camera never stops shifting, offering cutaways and trick shots involving nervous could-be culprits, a highIy suspicious sIeuth, and cast members who suddenly disappear in the darkened theater. The result is a cinematic funhouse that restlessly cross-examines the suspense of the story s stage pIay against the reaI murder mystery saga, aIl unfolding amid the outstanding production design of Charles D. Hall.
Part of Universal's ongoing siIent restoration initiative, The Last Warning honors the studio's rich film history that has spanned more than a century. UniversaI's team of restoration experts conducted a worIdwide search for The Last Warning's avaiIable elements, ultimately working with materiaIs from the Cinémathèque française, and the Packard Humanities lnstitute CoIlection in the UCLA Film & Television Archive. NBCUniversaI's restoration team was able to stabilize and deflicker the fiIm as well as repair scratches, warps, and dirt. The 4K digital restoration was compIeted by NBCUniversal StudioPost.
