Oswald had left Austria as it became an increasingly hostile working environment in the years leading up to Anchluss. It was his last film in Europe, before he moved to the United States and made three films in Hollywood. Conrad Veidt was similarly an exile from Germany, and had settled in Britain.
An adventurer gets into a series of scrapes when he tries to secure control of oil deposits in Mongolia.
Receptionedit
Reviewing the film Variety wrote that it was "a moderately good adventure drama" and predicted it would enjoy commercial success in France due to the popularity of Conrad Veidt. Going on to observe "It's almost a one-man film and Veidt makes all there is to be made out of a story that sometimes is fantastic enough to seem ludicrous".[1]
