The Unknown Tomorrow (German: Das unbekannte Morgen) is a 1923 German silent drama film directed by Alexander Korda and starring Werner Krauss, María Corda and Olga Limburg.

Production and reception

The Unknown Tomorrow was the first film made by Korda in Germany, after he had left Austria following the failure of Samson and Delilah. The film was a financial success, and Korda used his share of the profits to buy a stake in the film distribution company FIHAG.[1]

Werner Krauss's performance has been noted for its expressionist acting, even though much of the rest of the film is non-expressionist.[2]

Cast
