Nitchevo (Russian for "nothing", "ничего" [nʲɪʨɪˈvo]) is a 1936 French drama film directed by Jacques de Baroncelli and starring Harry Baur, Marcelle Chantal and George Rigaud. It is a remake of the 1926 silent film of the same name.

The film's sets were designed by the art directors Serge Piménoff and Georges Wakhévitch

Cast

Reception

Writing for Night and Day in 1937, Graham Greene gave the film a mildly poor review, complaining primarily that the film "has a bad story - and a very obscure one". Greene described the film as formulaic in its presentation, however he conceded that "the picture is worth a visit for the final situation in a sunk submarine and for the acting of M. Harry Baur".
