Moscow Nights (French: Les nuits moscovites) is a 1934 French war drama film directed by Alexis Granowsky and starring Annabella, Harry Baur and Pierre Richard-Willm.[1] It is based on a story by Pierre Benoît. The film's sets were designed by the art director Andrej Andrejew. It marked the screen debut of the Corsican singer Tino Rossi, who went on to star in a number of films.

The following year, a separate British version, Moscow Nights, was produced by London Films and directed by Anthony Asquith. The only actor to appear in both films was Harry Baur.

Synopsis

In Moscow during the First World War, the attractive Natacha Kovrine agrees to marry a wealthy grain merchant under pressure from her mother. However, while working as a nurse in a hospital she meets the wounded Captain Ignatoff and falls in love with him. When he is arrested and falsely accused of treason, it appears that the only man who might be able to save him is her fiancée.
