The Way of All Flesh is a 1927 film directed by Victor Fleming. The film stars Emil Jannings in a role that, along with the film The Last Command, would earn him the very first Academy Awards for Best Actor. The film tells the story of a bank clerk who is seduced by a woman and loses the securities he was transporting.

It is currently unknown whether or not there are any copies that have survived. However, The Way of All Flesh was remade in 1940 by Paramount, and the adaptation has survived.
