What happens

The Last Moment is a 1928 American silent drama film conceived and directed by Paul Fejos. The film starred Otto Matieson and Georgia Hale. 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. No print of The Last Moment is known to exist in any archive or private collection, and it is considered a lost film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
