Romance with Double-Bass is a Russian silent comedy short film released in 1911.[1] Directed by Kai Hanson, the film is based on the 1886 short story of the same name by the Russian writer Anton Chekhov.[2][3] The film was released seven years after his death, the time Chekhov thought people would stop reading his work.[3]
This is the second film adaptation of Chekhov's writings and the first that has been preserved — the 1909 adaptation of Surgery by Pyotr Chardynin is considered to be lost.[4]
