Change #1 - cription/>Adapted from Thomas F. Fallon’s 1922 Broadway play of the same name, [i]The Last Warning [/i]is based on the story [i]The House of Fear[/i] by Wadsworth Camp and centres onan unsolved murder that occurs during a live Broadway performance. When the victim’s body goes missing, the death remains unsolved and the theatre is condemned. That is, until years later when a suspicious new “producer” arrives to restage the play with the original cast and crew.<newline><newline>[i]The Last Warning [/i]was Paul Leni’s final film before his untimely death, and a prime showcase for Universal’s leading lady of the era, Laura La Plante ([i]The Cat and the Canary, Skinner’s Dress Suit[/i]). A visual artist at the peak of his career, Leni’s camera never stops shifting, offering cutaways and trick shots involving nervous could-be culprits, a highly suspicious sleuth, and cast members who suddenly disappear in the darkened theatre. The result is a cinematic funhouse that restlessly cross-examines the suspense of the story’s stage play against the “real” murder mystery saga, all unfolding amid the outstanding production design of Charles D. Hall.<newline><newline>Part of Universal’s ongoing silent restoration initiative, [i]The Last Warning[/i] honours the studio’s rich film history that has spanned more than a century. Universal’s team of restoration experts conducted a worldwide search for [i]The Last Warning[/i]’s available elements, ultimately working with materials from the Cinémathèque française and the Packard Humanities Institute Collection in the UCLA Film &amp; Television Archive. The Masters of Cinema series is proud to present the completed 4K restoration on Blu-ray, the first time the film has ever been available on home video in the UK.><newline>
