I saw this movie when I was a very young boy prior to WW2 I believe that I was nine at the time. For some reason this movie has followed throughout my life, it made a great impression on me. Especially the last scene when the dad was watching his family through the window of their home at Xmas time and it was snowing, the local cop caught him went to the door and asked the mans wife {whom she did not recognize] what she wanted him to do with the man. She then asked the man if he would like to come in and have some {I think it was a pudding or something like that} and he stated no thank you I had a wife that used to make that. he then walked away and disappeared walking off into the snowy night. The movie was great to bad it no longer exists.

Emil Jannings is the only Oscar winner whose performance is "LOST." Jannings won on the basis of two performances this first year of the Academy and we are fortunate to still have the other, THE LAST COMMAND. He is magnificent in that. This original THE WAY OF ALL FLESH is among the "LOST" films. Also nominated for Best Picture - no positive or negative materials are known to exist.

Supposedly all that is left of this film is an eight-and-a-half minute fragment. I have never seen this short fragment, but wish that this entire film still existed. I do not know why this film is lost. It may have disintegrated in storage or been nearly completely destroyed in a fire or something, I just do not know. I believe that Emil Jannings won the Best Actor Award at the first Academy Awards in 1927. If you want to check out and early Emil Jannings film, The Lost Command still exists in its entirety and is definitely worth a look. New Yorker magazine has referred to Emil Jannings career as one that must be studied for any serious historian of early Hollywood films.
