The Last Moment is a 1928 American silent drama film conceived and directed by Paul Fejos. The film starred Otto Matieson and Georgia Hale.[1]
Fejos made The Last Moment on a budget of US$13,000. The film told its story without intertitles, which was very unusual for a silent film, and used double- and triple-exposures and expressionistic editing, giving it a style that was not common for commercial releases of that period. Charlie Chaplin saw the film in a private screening and arranged for it to be theatrically released by United Artists.[2] No print of The Last Moment is known to exist in any archive or private collection, and it is considered a lost film.[2][3][4]
