Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sirk directed this immediately after fleeing Nazi Germany, making it part of his chaotic pre-Hollywood European period where he remade his own films in multiple languages for survival.
This belongs to a weird 1930s trend of multilingual versions—same sets, different casts, shot back-to-back before dubbing killed the practice.
