After the Verdict () is a 1929 drama film resulting from a British-German collaboration, directed by Henrik Galeen and featuring performances by Olga Chekhova and Warwick Ward. Adapted from Robert Hichens' 1924 novel, the story revolves around an aristocrat who faces allegations of murdering his lover. The movie was independently produced at British International Pictures' Elstree Studios and released through British Independent Film Distributors alongside Bavaria Film. Previously thought to be lost, a surviving print containing its original DeForest Phonofilm soundtrack with music and sound effects is now housed at the George Eastman Museum. This film represents one of Galeen's final directorial projects before he returned to Germany to helm The House of Dora Green in 1933.
