    • Trivia
      The film was not available for distribution for 20 years because of music-licensing issues. These issues were resolved in 2021 and the film was made available again, e.g. with its first home-video release.
    • Goofs
      When being in the UFA-Studios Fallada said that he has never written a screenplay before. This is not entirely true as he had various requests from UFA to write dialogues for movies, e.g. in 1935 or for an planned adaptation of "Wer einmal aus dem Blechnapf frißt".
    • Quotes

      Hans Fallada: I can't describe lucky people. Luck is often a lie.
