Reception

Writing for the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung E. K. commented: "Hans Steinhoff leads an excellent stylistically true and artistically extremely commendable artistic direction, which really conjures back a 'happier' Biedermeier time and knows how to find amusing and trusting motifs. It's an absolutely German game with all the familiar beauty we love about Gottfried Keller. In the sometimes simple, undemanding way, Steinhoff's direction is reminiscent of Lang's Tired Death. A great success of Ufa". [2]
