What happens

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. 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.
