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.
Unfortunately, despite its acclaim, the film has been lost to time and it is unknown how many copies there are and if any have survived. There are, however, two surviving clips of the ending as well as a few stills, which means there may still be surviving copies somewhere. The clips and stills can be found below.
