The Last Post is a lost 1929 British silent drama film directed by Dinah Shurey and starring John Longden, Frank Vosper and Alf Goddard. The film was the first (and would turn out to be the only) solo directorial venture by Shurey, who was the only female producer and director working in the British film industry at the time. It also became the main source of a libel action launched by Shurey against the magazine Film Weekly. A sound version was released in January 1930. While the sound version had no audible dialog except for a newly-filmed epilogue, it featured a synchronized musical score with sound effects
