Baky finished the original version of the film in March, 1944, but the propaganda ministry required him to redo the ending. The censor accepted the film in March 1945, but changed his mind ten days later. Despite this fact, it premiered in Mayrhofen on April 7, 1945, where it had been filmed. Naturally all of the extras from the region were pleased to see it. Its official premiere was delayed until Jan. 16, 1948, in East Berlin.
This is another "Überläufer" movie: Shot still during the so-called Third Reich (1943/44) but released after the war (In Switzerland in 1946 and in West-Germany in 1948).
