La primera coproducción germano-soviética procesó once cuentos de Chejov. En los créditos iniciales se lee: "Antes de la guerra, la gente de Rusia vivía en el interior de Rusia. Las 'bendiciones' de la civilización no les habían llegado. De esas personas superfluas que viven en una pequeña ciudad rusa habla esta película". Se trata de una farsa provincial idílica con acentos trágicamente conmovedores, exageraciones grotescas y humor grosero, caracterizada por una humanidad conciliadora. La película se creyó perdida durante mucho tiempo y se reconstruyó en 1978. (Eddie Constanti)

The plot finds echoes throughout the Weimar period, including Sternberg’s The Blue Angel. Conrad Veidt appears in a supporting role as a sinister blind painter, whose entrance eerily presages Murnau’s Nosferatu. Der Gang in die Nacht, the earliest surviving film by F. W. Murnau, is also, paradoxically, the only Murnau film for which the original camera negative exists.
