The Return of Nathan Becker (Russian: Возвращение Нейтана Беккера, romanized: Vozvrashchenie Neytana Bekkera) is a 1932 Soviet drama film directed and written by Rachel Milman-Creamer and Boris Shpis. It is a Soviet film telling the story of a Jew who returns after 28 years in America. A bricklayer by trade, he ends up in a contest with his Soviet counterpart. Becker loses, but learns more about the “warm and welcoming” way of life in the Soviet Union. Notable mostly for the performance of Solomon Mikhoels, one of the leading lights of Moscow State Jewish Theatre, and for being the only Soviet film ever shot in both Russian and Yiddish.
