The film is best known for the small role played by Marlene Dietrich as Kathrin, a lady's maid. Her brief appearance was filmed over several days during the summer of 1922.[1] It marked Dietrich's film debut, though she was later unhappy with her early silent films.[2] She was cast after impressing the director, Georg Jacoby, during a meeting arranged for them. Dietrich played gradually more substantial roles during the rest of the decade until her breakthrough film The Blue Angel (1930).
The film was made by the European Film Alliance (EFA), a failed attempt by the American firm Paramount to establish a production base in the lucrative German market.[3] The EFA was wound up shortly after the film's completion, which delayed its release.[4] It finally premièred on 29 November 1923 at the Marmorhaus in Berlin.[5]
