The Last Warning, 1928

A grandfather clock strikes twelve over the cast.

What

A 1928 Universal one-sheet for The Last Warning, an American mystery released as a part-talkie.

Why

Paul Leni directed it with Laura La Plante, and the film survives only in a cut-down silent version made for theatres not yet wired for sound.

Notice

Green title lettering lies over a sepia picture of the clock and the cast, and the foot reads "Supervised by CARL LAEMMLE JR." above "UNIVERSAL PICTURE".

“Midnight, by Paul Leni”
