It premiered at the Gloria-Palast in Berlin. It was shot between December 1932 and January 1933 during the final months of the Weimar Republic. Despite its popular success the incoming Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels described it as "terrible rubbish". [2] Due to their Jewish background a number of those involved with the film, including the director Gerron and star Rainer, left Germany after the Nazi takeover.
