Dialog and acting are fast paced before a somewhat serious backdrop of marital infidelity, parental authority, and lust with considerable wordplay ("Klaghofer"; "my daughter is my lost son") and excellent cutting and performances. Wartime propaganda purposes are served by some sentimentality, a superficially harmonious ending, while explicit Nazi ideology is absent.
Born into the twilight of the Dual Monarchy, producer Franz Antel [3] (Hello Porter, [4] Espionage, Der Bockerer) went on to become an important Austrian film director and screenwriter.
