For a comedy movie see "Chess Fever" (Shakhmatnaya goryachka)
a 19 minute silent movie.
Capablanca, and others appear in the movie. (Many of the players from the 1925 Moscow). There is no Communist propaganda in the film.
The tag:
Shakhmatnaya goryachka
Note the movie can not be copied, as Amazon.com sells a DVD of the film.
(Note I do not believe the movie actor Alexander Alekhine was in the film.
I believe he left Russia a few years before).
