Journey into the Night

Year: 1921

Runtime: 81 mins

Director: F. W. Murnau

Drama

Dr. Egil Börne, a respected physician, becomes enthralled by a manipulative cabaret dancer and abandons his fiancée. The story echoes themes common in Weimar‑era cinema, recalling Sternberg’s *The Blue Angel*. Conrad Veidt appears as a menacing blind painter, a role that foreshadows his later work in Murnau’s *Nosferatu*. *Der Gang in die Nacht* is the earliest surviving film by F. W. Murnau and, paradoxically, the only one for which the original camera negative still exists.
