1
00:00:11,087 --> 00:00:16,480
Three different negatives were created
of the film THE LAST MAN.

2
00:00:16,567 --> 00:00:23,996
One of them was intended for Germany,
the other one for the export in general,

3
00:00:24,087 --> 00:00:31,482
and the third one for the United States.
The German negative is preserved

4
00:00:31,567 --> 00:00:37,005
only incompletely and was reconstructed
in 2001/2002

5
00:00:37,087 --> 00:00:42,480
with the aid of the following materials:
with an original negative

6
00:00:42,567 --> 00:00:49,006
from the Bundesarchiv-Filmarchiv Berlin;
with a copy of the Museum of Modern Art,

7
00:00:49,087 --> 00:00:54,480
New York, produced in Germany in 1936;
with fragments of a duplicate

8
00:00:54,567 --> 00:00:59,561
of a missing German copy of the
Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung;

9
00:00:59,647 --> 00:01:04,004
and with fragments of a copy which is kept
by the Cinémathèque Suisse in Lausanne.

10
00:01:04,567 --> 00:01:09,083
The reconstruction took place
in cooperation with

11
00:01:09,167 --> 00:01:13,206
the Bundesarchiv-Filmarchiv,
Berlin/Koblenz,

12
00:01:13,247 --> 00:01:17,286
the Cinémathèque Suisse, Lausanne,
the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and...

13
00:01:17,367 --> 00:01:21,360
the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung,
Wiesbaden.

14
00:01:21,447 --> 00:01:25,440
Lab: L'Immagine Ritrovata, Bologna

15
00:01:25,527 --> 00:01:28,519
Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung

16
00:01:42,847 --> 00:01:49,764
Today, you are the first,
respected by everybody, a minister,

17
00:01:49,927 --> 00:01:56,002
a general, maybe even a prince.
Do you know what you will be tomorrow?

18
00:13:17,087 --> 00:13:20,875
"FOR THE WEDDlNG GUESTS"

19
00:20:14,207 --> 00:20:22,205
However, due to your period of service
of many years' standing

20
00:20:22,367 --> 00:20:28,363
we found another vacancy for you by
sending the oldest employee of our company

21
00:20:35,527 --> 00:20:39,281
to a shelter,
immediately effective.

22
00:21:20,407 --> 00:21:29,759
The reason for this measure...

23
00:21:33,367 --> 00:21:43,083
is your infirmity.

24
01:14:34,887 --> 01:14:38,880
Here,

25
01:14:39,047 --> 01:14:42,960
at the place of his humiliation,

26
01:14:43,127 --> 01:14:48,121
the old man would waste away miserably...

27
01:14:48,287 --> 01:14:52,439
and theoretically the story would be over.

28
01:14:52,607 --> 01:14:56,600
But the author is looking after the one
who has been abandoned by everyone,

29
01:14:56,767 --> 01:15:00,760
and he gives him an
epilogue as a present...

30
01:15:00,927 --> 01:15:03,919
telling a story...

31
01:15:04,087 --> 01:15:09,087
that usually doesn't occur
in real life... unfortunately.

32
01:15:09,087 --> 01:15:13,080
A SENSATIONAL INHERITANCE

33
01:15:13,247 --> 01:15:17,240
As already reported a short time ago,

34
01:15:17,407 --> 01:15:22,401
the celebrated Mexican multimillionaire
Mr. A. G. Monen died

35
01:15:22,567 --> 01:15:26,560
whilst washing his hands
in the lavatory of the Atlantic-Hotel.

36
01:15:26,727 --> 01:15:30,720
Upon going through his papers,

37
01:15:30,887 --> 01:15:34,880
a sensational will of this excentric man
was found to the effect...

38
01:15:35,047 --> 01:15:40,041
that the person,
in whose arms he will happen to die,

39
01:15:40,207 --> 01:15:44,758
was to become the sole heir
to his enormous fortune.

40
01:15:53,687 --> 01:15:57,282
Hence, the biblical promise...

41
01:15:57,447 --> 01:16:00,439
that the last shall be the first,

42
01:16:00,607 --> 01:16:04,247
seems to be already fulfilled on earth
because the lucky one is...

43
01:16:04,247 --> 01:16:05,236
...
